Springer - Ethylene: Agricultural Sources and Applications

As the global demand for food supply increases, agricultural scientists must find new technologies to improve food production. This book from Springer explores the role of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in modern agriculture. PGRs are organic compounds that can change physiological plant processes even at extremely low concentrations, ranging from micro- to picograms. While higher plants can synthesize these regulators internally, they also respond to exogenous sources. This text provides essential information for those studying how these compounds affect plant development. It is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals looking to understand the science behind plant growth and the applications of ethylene in agricultural settings.
