Abstract:

With the development of socio-economy and the modern planting technology,at present,China’s tomato production has reached the highest planting scale in history. However,while pursuing high yield,the problem of the decrease of tomato quality is increasingly highlighted Plant growth regulators are widely used in tomato planting because of their characteristics of high efficiency,low toxicity and low cost. In recent years,plant growth regulators have been widely in all stages of tomato planting;however,some growers use them in an irregular or even abusive way in order to pursue economic benefits,which seriously affects the tomato quality. Therefore,in this article,the applications of plant growth regulators in tomatoes and their underlying mechanisms were comprehensively reviewed. Moreover,it discussed the effects of these regulators on tomato quality under both normal and stress conditions,aiming to provide a theoretical foundation for the scientific and rational application of plant growth regulators.

Key words: plant growth regulators, tomato, yield, quality, environmental stress
