Abstract
:
Climate changes and the rapid expanding human population have become critical concerns for global food security. One of the promising solutions is the employment of plant growth regulators (PGRs) for increasing crop yield and overcoming adverse growth conditions, such as desert climate. Recently, the apocarotenoid zaxinone and its two mimics (MiZax3 and MiZax5) have shown promising growth-promoting activity in cereals and vegetable crops under greenhouse and field conditions. Herein, the effect of MiZax3 and MiZax5 at different concentrations was further investigated on the growth and yield of strawberry, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The use of MiZax3 and MiZax5 at a concentration of 5 μM led to a significant increase in growth characteristics, especially the number of runners/plant, number of fruits, plant yield and total yield/ hectare, in addition to improving the fruit quality of strawberry cultivars Sweet Charlie and Festival. Our results indicate that MiZax is a promising biostimulant that can be applied to promote the growth and yield of horticultural crops even under desert conditions and at relatively low concentrations.
