Improving maize grain yield by formulating plant growth regulator strategies in North China

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are artificially synthesized compounds that have become an important technical guarantee for agricultural production. EDAH (containing 27% ethephon and 3% DA-6) has been proven to inhibit stalk elongation, promote stalk ...

Meta-QTL analysis explores the key genes, especially hormone related genes, involved in the regulation of grain water content and grain dehydration rate in maize

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Low grain water content (GWC) at harvest of maize (Zea mays L.) is essential for mechanical harvesting, transportation and storage. Grain drying rate (GDR) is a key determinant of GWC.

Salicylic Acid as a Safe Plant Protector and Growth Regulator

open access: yesPlant Pathology Journal, 2020
Since salicylic acid (SA) was discovered as an elicitor of tobacco plants inducing the resistance against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in 1979, increasing reports suggest that SA indeed is a key plant hormone regulating plant immunity.

Monitoring of Cotton Boll Opening Rate Based on UAV Multispectral Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Defoliation and accelerating ripening are important measures for cotton mechanization, and judging the time of defoliation and accelerating the ripening and harvest of cotton relies heavily on the boll opening rate, making it a crucial factor to consider.
