Abstract
Effects of 2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid (ethephon), N6-benzyladenine (BA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA) were studied on branching, plant growth and fruit development of Jerusalem cherry (Solanum pseudocapsicum L.). Ethephon increased first order lateral branching, and number of leaves and fruits, and promoted maturity while it decreased fruit diameter and shoot and fruit fresh and dry weights. BA enhanced first order lateral branch and leaf numbers but reduced fruit number and size. IAA had no significant effect on most measured characters.
