TRITERPENE GLYCOSIDES AS PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS: POTENTIAL AND PROSPECTS FOR USE (RE-VIEW)

The increased interest in the study of growth-regulating activity triterpene glycosides (TG) recent years is largely due to need create new highly effective environmentally friendly plant growth biostimulants, use which considered as an important strategy managing productivity and stress resistance agricultural crops. Тhe review presents information available literature on phytoregulatory TG with emphasis their growth-stimulating properties. physiological effects bioassays phytohormonal are considered. auxin- gibberellin- cytokinin-like effect metabolism (changes enzymes: α-amylase, peroxidase, catalase, polyphenol oxidase, IAA nitrate reductase, chlorophyll protein content), was shown depending structure TG, concentration tested plant. issues mechanism action possible involvement free triterpenes processes plants discussed. relationships between analyzed. exogenous triterpenoids under abiotic stresses, well possibility using some extracts saponin-bearing (Сamellia sp., Silphium perfoliatum, Medicago sativa, Glycine max, Vigna radiata, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Moringa oleifera, Solidago gigantea, Centella asiatica, Eclipta alba, Quillaja saponaria, Bacopa monnieri et al.) containing (Abies sibirica, Betula sp.) crop production regulators,
