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

Regulation of plant growth by cytokinin [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Cytokinins are a class of plant-specific hormones that play a central role during the cell cycle and influence numerous developmental programs. Because of the lack of biosynthetic and signaling mutants, the regulatory roles of cytokinins are not well understood.

Diurnal regulation of plant growth* [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2006 ABSTRACTLife occurs in an ever‐changing environment. Some of the most striking and predictable changes are the daily rhythms of light and temperature. To cope with these rhythmic changes, plants use an endogenous circadian clock to adjust their growth and physiology to anticipate daily environmental changes.

Monitoring of Cotton Boll Opening Rate Based on UAV Multispectral Data
Remote 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.
