high nitrogen and plant density cause increasing vegetative growth and reducing harvest index. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cycocel at high nitrogen and plant density on safflower yield and yield components. for this purpose a field experiment was carried out as a factorial-split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications with esfahan 14 ...

Cycocel stimulated the activity of partial purified choline kinase from spinach or squash leaves, but it inhibited the activity of yeast choline kinase. The activity of different Cycocel analogs on plant growth corresponded to their stimulatory effect on the isolated choline kinase. Cycocel had no effect upon the activity of a plant phosphatase which hydrolyzed phosphorylcholine nor upon adenos...

Phlox paniculata L. and Rudbeckia hirta L. are popular North American native herbaceous perennials in the landscape. Perennials in general have a tendency to quickly outgrow their containers in the greenhouse. Chemical plant growth regulators (PGRs) are commonly used to control plant size in the horticulture industry. Unfortunately, both Phlox and Rudbeckia are extremely susceptible to powdery ...

Preand post-harvest physiology and quality responses of green pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv ‘Standar p.13/0211003-01-Agris’) on exogenous Gibberellic acid-GA3 (100 μM), ProhexadioneCalcium (100 mg l), Cycocel (100 mg l) and Ethephon (100 mg l) applied as foliar sprays, were investigated. Among PGRs, GA3 @ 100μM was effective in promoting flowering and better for vegetative characteristics. Chlo...

Zinnia is a very attractive and beautiful ornamental plant due to the diversity of color and flowering period. The effect of cycocel and pot size was studied on growth and flowering of zinnia in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete design with two factors: cycocel at 3 levels (0, 1000 and 2000 ppm) and pot size at 4 levels (10, 12, 14 and 16 cm) with 12 treatments and 3 replica...

in order to investigate the effect of cycocel on different growth aspects of two olive cultivars (mary and mission), a greenhouse experiment was conducted taking into account three factors of: cycocel at three levels (0, 500 and 1000 mg l-1), drought stress of three levels (irrigated at 5, 10 and 15 days intervals) and two olive cultivars (mary and mission) in a factorial experiment based on ra...
