Phosphono peptides exhibited plant‐growth‐regulating activity when tested on Lepidium sativum and Cucumis sativus. The studies have provided evidence that the mechanism of action of these compounds may involve the uptake of the phosphono peptides into the plant, intracellular hydrolysis of the peptide bond and release of the P‐terminal aminoalkylphosphonic acid. This acid or its metabolite is then probably responsible for the observed physiological effect.
