Using Ethylene - Releasing PGRs for Hyacinth and Nar - cissus
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the last few years, we have been experimenting with the idea of applying ethylene-releasing plant growth regulators (PGRs) to the rootzone as a substrate drench. This is a rather radical idea for floriculture production overall and flowerbulb forcing in particular. In this newsletter, we’ll review ethylene as a growth regulator, discuss the commercialy available ethylenereleasing PGRs and show a number of examples of such drenches on daffodil and hyacinth.

Plant growth regulators to manipulate oat stands
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are exogenously applied chemicals that alter plant metabolism, cell division, cell enlargement, growth and development by regulating plant hormones or other biological signals. For example, some PGRs regulate stem elongation by inhibiting biosynthesis of gibberellins or through releasing ethylene. PGR effects are widely studied and reported on barley (Hordeum vulg...

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly method for removal of pollutants, which can be relied upon as a sustainable technology, if implemented under optimum conditions of plant growth. The effectiveness of water hyacinth, a topical weed, for the removal of Zinc (Zn) and Chromium (Cr) ions from aqueous solutions has been presented in this article. The potential of this plant in removing metals by ph...
متن کاملThe Effect of Some Plant Growth Regulators and Their Combination with Methyl Jasmonate on Anthocyanin Formation in Roots of Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana
In this study, we investigated the effect of plant growth regulators (PGRs) – auxins, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, brassinosteroid, ethylene and their interaction with methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) applied to roots of the whole plants Kalanchoe blossfeldiana on the accumulation of anthocyanins in roots. The highest stimulation of anthocyanins synthesis was stated with application of JA-Me ...
