Role Of Plant Growth Regulators In Enhancing Flowering In Commercial Floriculture

Abstract

The goal of commercial floriculture is to optimize flower production to satisfy the demand of customers for advantage, attractive flowers. Plant growth regulators are essential for controlling the flowering processes that improve the quality, quantity, and marketability of crops used for ornamentation. Gibberellins, auxins, cytokinins, and abscisic acid are examples of PGRs that intimately interact with endogenous hormonal pathways and affect the induction, transition, and development of flowering. PGRs provide direct control over flowering timing and duration by modifying physiological processes such as bud initiation, differentiation, and maturity. Technological developments in biotechnological methods, PGR formulations, and application methods keep floriculturists supplied with a wider range of devices that are designed to meet particular crop needs and environmental conditions. In addition, we are learning more about PGR-mediated flowering control and discovering new regulatory pathways because of interdisciplinary investigations that integrate genetics, and physiology.
