Novel bioactive compounds which when applied to plants in bioregulatory amounts, enhance plant development responses, resulting in enhanced plant properties such as increased total biomass, increased yield, and increased plant quality. Some of the compounds increase the content of taxol and related taxanes in yew plants. One compound, 2-?diethylaminoethyl!-2-methylpropylether causes plants treated with the compound to have resistance to chewing insects. The compound 2-?diethylaminoethyl!-2-methyl-2-phenylpropylether causes plants treated with the compound to have resistance to sucking insects.
