farmers in South Africa ( Maboko et al., 2012a ). For good fruit set and better yield, pollination, germination of pollen grains, pollen tube growth, fertilization, and fruit initiation must take place successfully ( Kinet and Peet, 1997 ). Pepper plants
Red firespike is a vigorous ornamental shrub growing to ≈6 ft in height. It has an upright growth habit and is commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant in the garden due to its attractive tubular red flowers ( Daniel, 1995 ). The plant has
Salinity is one of the most important stress factors limiting plant growth and productivity. Salinity stress conditions negatively affect nearly 100 million ha around the world ( Ghassemi et al., 1995 ) and almost 1.5 million ha in Turkey ( Dinc et
cumbersome size for handling and shipping. Applications of plant growth regulators (PGRs) may help to extend the amount of time these plants can be held before distribution and sale, to improve visual quality, and to facilitate shipping. There are many PGRs
Plant responses to plant growth regulators (PGRs) often include increases in size, biomass, and yield, thereby differentiating them from other pesticides (e.g., herbicides, fungicides, insecticides), which often include damage, inhibition, or
