Figure 9: The diagram shows the endogenous autotoxicity in Camptotheca trees induced by the enhanced production or external applications of endocidal CPTs or prolonged periods of soaking the fruits in water or Camptotheca extracts.
From: Endocidal Regulation of Secondary Metabolites in the Producing Organisms
These endocide inductions or applications directly reduced apical dominance of Camptotheca, resulting in morphological mutations including shrubbiness in Camptotheca tree.
