Gummosis
The expulsion of viscous sap from a tissue or organ; the genesis of such a secretion may either be outward, representing a discernible sign, as seen in Pseudomonas mors-prunorum’s cherry bacterial canker and Cladosporium cucumerinum’s cucumber gummosis, or inward, culminating in the impregnation of lysigenous cavities in xylem or phloem, or the blockage of channels…

Growth retardant
A compound that inhibits the proliferation of microorganisms, fungi, or higher plants. This substance is known for its ability to suppress the growth of these organisms, thereby reducing their rate of development.
-
Gibberellin-like substance
This particular compound possesses an enigmatic chemical structure or is missing the characteristic gibbane ring framework that is commonly found in gibberellins such as (-) kaurene and steviol. Nonetheless, it has been determined that this compound is bioactive in bioassay systems that are sensitive to gibberellins.
