Molecular Dissection Unveiling Dwarfing Effects of Plant Growth Retardants on Pomegranate
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Dwarfed stature is a desired trait for modern orchard production systems. One effective strategy for dwarfing cultivation is exogenously applying plant growth retardants (PGRs) to plants.

Chemical versus mechanical dwarfing of M7 apple rootstock: contrasting pathways induced by paclobutrazol and bonsai techniques [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Controlling vegetative vigour is a key part of modern high-density apple orchards that use semi-dwarf rootstocks like M7. Genetic dwarfing is widely employed; however, additional management through chemical growth retardants or physical ...

Screening olour mango half-sib progenies for dwarfing, vigour, and climate resilience [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMango (Mangifera indica L.) productivity is limited by large canopy size and the absence of reliable dwarfing rootstocks. The polyembryonic genotype ‘Olour’ is widely used as a dwarfing and salt-tolerant rootstock, but its zygotic progenies remain ...

Dwarfing of fruit trees: from old cognitions to new insights
Horticulture AdvancesPlant dwarfing is a key agronomic trait, often characterized by shortened internodes and increased branching and leaf production, which improves lodging resistance and facilitates intensive crop planting. In fruit crops, dwarfing promotes dense planting,

Potentially Useful Dwarfing or Semi-dwarfing Genes in Rice Breeding in Addition to the sd1 Gene
Rice, 2022 The “Green revolution” gene sd1 has been used widely in the breeding of modern rice varieties for over half a century. The application of this gene has increased rice yields and thereby supported a significant proportion of the global population. The use
