Abstract

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) play an important role in alleviating the detrimental effects of biotic and abiotic stress and improving crop yield and quality. As a novel PGR from Streptomyces registered in 2021, guvermectin (GV) has the potential to improve plant yield and defense, making its application in agriculture a subject of interest. Here, we describe the discovery process, functional activities, agricultural applications, toxicity, environmental safety, and biosynthetic mechanism of GV. This Perspective provides a guide for the development of novel PGRs from microorganisms.
