Abstract

 

This review aimed to show the use of gibberellin in floriculture. In this context, it should be noted that the benefit of the activity of the gibberellins has brought major advances in the field of physiology. Its use is one of the most important tools for the development of agriculture. Thus, the study concluded that the use of gibberellins has been increasingly used by producers and is also a vast important subject that may help in increasing the production of flowers if the farms are dedicated to this purpose.

 

Key words: Regulators plants, flowers, phenotypic characteristics, postharvest.

Abbreviation

 

Abbreviations: MEP, Metileritritolfosfato; GA, gibberellic acid.
