| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Plant growth regulators (PGRs) play a pivotal role in enhancing yield and quality in fruit crops by influencing the biosynthesis, metabolism, and translocation of plant hormones. These exogenous applications modulate hormonal balance by stimulating or inhibiting the production of specific hormones, thereby altering growth patterns and developmental processes. The strategic use of PGRs has led to significant advancements in fruit production, contributing to superior growth, quality, and yield. PGRs elicit various physiological responses, such as promoting or suppressing growth, inducing flowering or thinning excess blooms, and mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses. They also reduce preharvest fruit drop, improve fruit size, enhance color development, and synchronize fruit maturity. Additionally, PGRs support root system development, boosting nutrient uptake and stress tolerance. In high-value perennial fruit trees, which exhibit intricate physiological interactions, PGRs offer precise and efficient interventions to optimize productivity. Remarkably effective at low concentrations, these compounds enable significant improvements in fruit quality and yield, underscoring their critical role as drivers of sustainable fruit crop management.</p> |
