Diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate citrate is a compound that is widely used as a plant growth regulator.
Diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate citrate is used as a plant growth regulator, stimulates the regeneration of adventitious buds[1]. Diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6, 1 μM) with EDTA effectively causes the Cd extraction. Diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate fixes more Cd in cell walls and reduces Cd migration in shoot to reduce metal toxicity. Furthermore, Diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate/gibberellic acid 3 in combination with EDTA alleviates the adverse effect of EDTA on plant growth[2].
