Abstract

In recent years a great deal of attention has been given to chemical control of physiological processes in plants. Scientists have joined efforts to understand plant regulation in such organizations as the Plant Growth Regulator Society of America and the British Plant Growth Regulator Group. Proceedings and other publications from such organizations illustrate and highlight the extensive and intensive work that is being done with growth regulators (1,3). Most important perhaps is the use of plant bioregulators to increase food supplies of the world. Recent literature illustrates our present capabilities for regulating crop plant growth and enhancing yields (e.g. 2). Technological developments in bioregulation are many. We know that bioregulators are capable of altering genetic potentials by modifying biochemical and physiological processes. By altering physiological processes with bioregulators, we may be affording the plant the means to resist or overcome environmental or biological stresses and may, thereby, contribute to enhanced
