Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs)

Gibberellins

Gibberellins are a group of plant hormones that play a crucial role in regulating growth and development. They are involved in processes such as stem elongation, seed germination, flowering, and fruit development. Gibberellins promote cell division and elongation, helping plants grow taller and break seed dormancy. They also influence enzyme production during seed germination and can affect flowering time in certain species. Naturally occurring in plants, gibberellins are also used in agriculture to improve crop yield, enhance fruit size, and control flowering.
