Plant growth regulators
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are chemical that influence plant growth and
development. That can be naturally occurring or synthetic compounds that
alert plant physiological processes, such as;
PLANT GROWTH COMPOUNDS:
*Types of plant growth regulator
Auxins : Promote cell elongation ,root development ,and fruit growth.
Gibberellins; STIMULATE STEM ELONGATION ,Seed germination,and
flowering.
TYPES OF PLANT REGULATORS
• Auxins; Promote cell elongation, cell division , and root growth (e.g
indole 3 acetic acid , IAA ).
• GIBBERELLINS: Regulate seed germination , steam elongation, and
flower formation ( e.g., gibberellic acid, GA3).
• CYTOKININS :Stimulate cell division , promote leaf growth, and delay
senescence.
• ETHYLINE: Regulate fruit ripening ,flower senescence, and stress
response.
Uses of plant growth regulators
• Agriculture: to increase crop, yield improve plant growth and enhance
• fruit quality.
• HORTICULTURE : To promote plant growth, control plant height, and
regulate flowering.
• GARDENING: To promote plant growth and , control weeds and
regulates plant development.
• BENEFITS OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS
• INCREASE CROP YIELD :PGRs can increase crop yields by promoting
plant growth and improving fruit quality.
• IMPROVED PLANT GROWTH :PGRs can improve plant growth by
regulating cell division and cell elongation.
• ENHANCED FRUIT QUALITY: PGRs can enhance fruit quality by
regulating fruit ripening and sugar content.
• FUNCTIONS OF PGRs
• CELL DIVISION AND ELONGATION : PGRs regulate cell growth and
division.
• SEED GERMINATION AND DORMANCY :PGRs control seed germination
and dormancy.
• FLOWER FORMATION AND FRUIT DVEVELOPMENT: PGRs regulate
flower fruits and development.
• Benefits OF PGRs
• Increase crop yields : PGRs can increase crop yields by promoting plant
growth and improving fruit quality.
• Improved plant growth : PGRs can improv plant growth by regulating
cell division and elongation .
• Enhanced fruit quality : PGRs can enhance fruit quality by regulating
fruit ripening and sugar content.
