Crenatin (3, 4, 5, tri-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, 4-glucoside) isolated from chestnut, was studied for its ability for improvement of rooting in the bean rooting test. Crenatin itself had a positive effect on number of roots. Moreover it enhanced the number of IAA-induced roots. In addition, a retardation of the apical bud growth was observed.
