Brassinolide (BL) represents one of the plant growth regulators essential in multiple developmental processes in plants including cell division, cell elongation and reproductive development. Over the last ten years, the use of Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) has increased exponentially as main objectives in many studies. This book should be of interest to readers especially for researchers and students in the areas of agronomy, horticulture, plant physiology and pomology. There are many studies about plant growth and physiological changes but very little academic literature exists on how to best utilize the brassinolide and warrants further investigation on fig or other plants.
