A Multi-Year Study of Forchlorfenuron’s Effects on Physical Fruit Quality Parameters in A. chinensis var. chinensis

Agronomy
CPPU, N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea, is a synthetic cytokinin extensively used to enhance fruit size and overall quality in several crops, including kiwifruit.

The optimization of crop response to climatic stress through modulation of plant stress response mechanisms. Opportunities for biostimulants and plant hormones to meet climate challenges.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 130-151, January 2026.
Summary This review discusses the use of agronomic management practices to enhance crop stress resilience to climate stress through the modulation of natural plant growth regulatory pathways. The use of biostimulants or plant hormones to improve crop resilience is subject to strict regulatory oversight if changes in the regulation of plant growth are ...

External Sucrose Delays Pakchoi Senescence Through Regulating Energy Metabolism

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
As a typical green leafy vegetable, pakchoi suffers greatly from postharvest loss. This study investigated the impact of sucrose on quality and energy metabolism of postharvest pakchoi. Sucrose could delay leaf yellowing and preserve higher chlorophyll and decrease weight loss rate and respiration rate during pakchoi storage. Compared with control, the

MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYSILOGICAL STUDIES ON FLOWERING, POLLINATION AND FRUITING OF “PICUAL” OLIVE TREES I- EFFECT OF SOME GROWTH REGULATORS AND BORIC ACID ON FLOWERING AND FUITING OF PICUAL TREES [PDF]

Journal of Plant Production, 2002
Response of flowering and fruiting of Picual olive trees to paclobutrazol (PP333), uniconazole (UC), sitofex (CPPU) and boric acid (H3BO3 ) were tested during 1996/97 and 1997/98 seasons. PP333 and UC (250, 500 ppm) sprayed at pre bloom; CPPU (20 ppm) or

Cytokinins influence bulblet formation by modulating sugar metabolism and endogenous hormones in Asiatic hybrid lily

Ornamental Plant Research, 2023
Lilies are bulbous flowers cherished for their aesthetic and medicinal value. Within the realm of lily cultivation, scale-cutting serves as a prevailing method for vegetative propagation, yielding diminutive bulbs termed bulblets at the base of scales ...

Litchi postharvest physiology and handling

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 2014-2063, July/August 2024.
Abstract Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruit, with its bright red color and sweet and juicy aril, is an important fruit crop in Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. A major cause of the postharvest loss of litchi fruit is browning and decay.

Post-Bloom CPPU Application Is Effective at Improving Fruit Set and Suppressing Coloration but Ineffective at Increasing Fruit Size in Litchi

Horticulturae, 2022
This study aimed to provide a reference for the practical use of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) in the improvement of fruit set and quality (especially size) in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). CPPU at 5 mg/L was sprayed to fruit clusters of ‘Feizixiao’ at 2, 4,

Cytokinin-induced parthenocarpic fruit development in tomato is partly dependent on enhanced gibberellin and auxin biosynthesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Fruit set of plants largely depends on the biosynthesis and crosstalk of phytohormones. To date the role of cytokinins (CKs) in the fruit development is less understood. Here, we showed that parthenocarpic fruit could be induced by 1-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-

CPPU Improves Fruit Setting and Growth in Greenhouse-grown Oriental Melons (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa Makino)

HortScience
The production of melons (Cucumis melo L.) in greenhouses relies on pollination. Extreme temperature and insufficient light reduce not only flower visitation by pollinators but also pollen viability, resulting in inefficient pollination.
