How does CCC affect plant height?
Are there any examples of plants showing an increase in height?
Plant growth retardants, particularly onium
compounds (e.g. CCC) and triazole compounds
(e.g. PBZ), are able to increase the partitioning
of assimilates to roots and thereby improve yield
through the inhibition of gibberellin biosynthesis
or action (Fletcher et al., 2000; Mansuroglu et al.,
2009). In addition, they can be used to control
excessive vegetative growth and to increase quality
attributes such as dry matter and starch content of
the harvestable organ.
Number of studies on Cassava have been carried out.
This compounds like growth retardant is also use for in vitro flowering in ornamental plants (e.g. orchids), but it should use only in small amounts (e.g. 0,025/0,05 mg/L).
This compound is a growth retardant which could be used in-vitro for controlling vegetative growth and extending the growth period. Different plants may respond differently so you need to know the best concentration for your porpoise.
It is growth retardant, some times it increases accumulation of secondary metabolites in plants. Depends on species...
There could be several uses as others have mentioned ... but the most common commercial one I am aware of is the in vitro tuberization of Solanum tuberosum (potato).
Chlorocholine Chloride (CCC) is gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor involved in the inhibition of cyclization of geranyl -geranyl pyrophosphate. CCC treatment significantly improves the photosynthetic capacity of potato leaves and promotes photoassimilates partitioning into tubers thereby enhancing tuber growth. In commercial culture, in grains, the mean grain weight is reduced although there is an increasing number of grains. On cotton resulted in increased weight and seed bolls and reduction in the percentage of fiber. Overall, seems to increase root development rather than the development of the shoot.
This growth retardant has any effects. read these and cross ref articles. Acta Physiol Plant (2011) 33:1543–1545; Plant Biotechnol Rep (2010) 4:9–13
this is a growth retardant. this effect is shown in a ornamental and fruit crops.
whenever this concentration will be used more/less their effect on plant but at present not occurrence the growth due to CCC
CCC will stop the synthesis of GA. Application PTC as inhibitor helps to understand the need of gibberellin in plant growth and development
