β-Cyclocitral (beta-cyclocitral) is an apocarotenoid derived from the C7 oxidation of β-carotene. This apocarotenoid has revived interest due to its roles in plant development. β-cyclocitral has been found endogenously in a variety of organisms including plants, cyanobacteria, fungi and animals. β-Cyclocitral is a volatile compound that contributes to the aroma of various fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants. In plants, β-cyclocitral was found to be an important regulator in root development.
