With the fresh aroma of the forest. It is naturally contained in needle oil, especially in fir oil. |
In vitro study | The wavy roots from seedlings exposed to (-)-bornyl acetate are significantly longer than those from seedlings exposed to ()-bornyl acetate. (-)-Bornyl acetate (L-bornyl acetate), when applied individually to barley seedlings, reduced powdery mildew infection compared with controls not containing ether. |
