Research progress in plant growth regulators and their application, content determination in planting traditional chinese medicine / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

The study of plant growth regulators and their application in agricultural production are significant progress of modern plant physiology and agricultural science. Plant growth regulators have been widely applied in crop production and have become an important means of increasing yield. At present, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) we used in our country is obtained mostly by planting. Pesticides and plant growth regulators are used frequently. TCM is different from general crops, so we should pay more attention to the impacts of plant growth regulators on the safety and quality of TCM to ensure their safe, effective and controllable use. This article summarizes the class and use of commonly used plant growth regulators in planting TCM, their impact on the quality of TCM, and their detection methods.
