Plant Growth Regulator Abstracts

Overview

Plant Growth Regulator Abstracts is a fully searchable abstracts database of internationally published research. It brings you the latest information on the role of chemicals, including gibberellins, auxins, cytokinins, ethylene and various other growth stimulators and inhibitors, in the regulation of plant growth and development.

Derived from CAB Abstracts, the original applied life sciences database, coverage includes the use of growth regulators in plant propagation and crop management, and their involvement in physiological processes.

Each week, Plant Growth Regulator Abstracts delivers all the new highly-targeted, searchable summaries covering key English and foreign language journal articles, reports, conferences and books about plant growth regulators. Over 5,500 records are added to the database each year.

Plant Growth Regulator Abstracts includes a fully searchable backfile to 1975. Over 91,000 research summaries (click here for a sample record) bring a wealth of current research on plant growth regulators to your fingertips!

Plant Growth Regulator Abstracts is updated weekly online, it is also available in print, delivered quarterly.

Coverage

Propagation and in vitro culture
Covers the use of plant growth regulators in the propagation of horticultural and field crops, forest species, weeds and experimental plants, by conventional and in vitro methods, and their role in in vitro plant development, including:

• Vegetative propagation by cuttings, layering and budding/grafting
• Micropropagation
• Cell and protoplast culture
• Anther culture
• Ovule culture
• Embryo culture
• Somatic embryogenesis
   

Role of growth regulators in crop production

 Aspects include: 

• Growth retardation/dwarfing
• Enhancement of growth and/or yield
• Dormancy breaking
• Flower induction, manipulation of flower sex
• Manipulation of fruit load by fruit drop reduction or thinning of flowers or fruits
• Parthenocarpy
• Seed production
• Chemical defoliation
• Preharvest treatments e.g. for fruit loosening, sugarcane ripening
• Enhancement of crop quality  

Ripening and postharvest technology
Aspects include:

• Physiology of fruit ripening and maturation
• Postharvest treatments to advance or retard ripening
• Control of storage decay
• Storage physiology
• Effects on shelf-life, including vase life of cut flowers
   

Physiology and biochemistry
Role of growth regulators in:

• Abiotic stress caused by heat/cold, salinity, drought/waterlogging, nutrient deficiency/excess, pollutants etc.
• Plant defence mechanisms
• Seed germination and seed dormancy
• Plant development: embryogenesis, growth, flowering and fruiting, senescence
• Physiological processes such as transpiration, photosynthesis
• Tropic and nastic movements
• Molecular mechanisms of signal transduction
• Growth regulator biosynthesis, transport and metabolism
   

Production of growth regulators by pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms 

Allelopathins

• Structure
• Biosynthesis
• Activity
  

   

Analysis and synthesis
Including methods for:

 

• Quantitative and qualitative analysis of plant growth regulators
• Chemical synthesis of natural and synthetic growth regulators
   

 

Miscellaneous

• Plant growth regulator residues in foods and the environment
• Effects on human health

 

 

 

 

Updates to this list are produced monthly. Designation of Open Access publications are currently available in the downloadable version.
