Impact of Plant Growth Regulators on Fruit Production

Effect of plant growth regulators, fruit thinning, boron and calcium on growth indexs and seed yield of watermelon nuts

Watermelon nuts is widely cultivated in Khorasan Razavi for its edible seed production. Two experiments were therefore, conducted to increase seed production in Bahonar University of Kerman Research Station in 2013 and 2014. In first year, the effects of gibberellic acid (0 and 50 mg/l) and fruit number (1, 2 and 3 fruits /plant) were studied in 4 populations. In second year, the effects of 24-...

Plant Growth Regulators Impact on Vegetative and Reproductive Characteristics of Gladiolus Cut Flowers (Gladiolus hybridus Hort)

Gladiolus is an important marketable cut flower, especially valued for use in floral arrangements. We assessed the effects of two different methods of application (foliar spray and drench) and various concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3), salicylic acid (SA), mival (MI) and krizatcin (KR) on vegetative and reproductive features of Gladiolus hybridus. The experiment was planned in a factoria...

10. the Role of Plant Growth Regulators in the Development, Growth and Maturation of the Fruit

Three bioassays were used for testing the level of regulator activity in methanolic extracts of the various fruit tissues: (a) the wheat coleoptile straight growth assay, to test auxins and coleoptile elongation-inhibiting substances; (b) the barley endosperm assay, to test gibberellin activity and the inhibitors of this activity; and (c) the growth of soybean callus in tissue culture, to test ...

Plant Growth Regulators

Plant growth regulators are hormone-like chemicals that occur naturally in plants, and play a central role in their growth and development. Five major classes of plant growth regulators have been identified as plant hormones, but scientists believe that there are more waiting to be discovered. The five growth hormones include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene. Collec...
