4. (c) It has not been revealed that the abscisic activity against the leaves of C. obtusa could relate to the resinous canker disease. Because time-consuming pathogenicity assays using whole trees are impractical, short time assays using leaves are applied to promote the study from the viewpoint of phytotoxic (or biologically active) compounds.

10. D of synthetic compounds (1 and ent-1) were higher and larger than those of natural 1 because natural 1 was slightly contaminated with an artifact, methyl 2,3,5-trihydroxytetradecanoate. Methanol used in chromatography is responsible for the opening of the lactone-ring. Hydrogenolysis of 6 in methanol also gave a mixture of ent-1 and methyl 2,3,5-trihydroxytetradecanoate.
