Aims: Benzylaminopurine (BAP) sprays have been shown to increase leaf size and leaf appearance rate, as well as biomass accumulation in pot-grown Epipremnum aureum L. BAP-mediated enhanced growth could either be the consequence of a higher investment of dry weight in leaf area de...

Root restriction on the first stage of seedling growth decreases post-transplant biomass accumulation. Several studies in different vegetables and ornamental plants have suggested that this restriction would be overcome by means of a single 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) spray. Based...

Some authors have indicated that the reason why benzyl adenine (BAP) stimulates dry matter accumulation in squash and pumpkin is unclear, but we believe that two possibilities are likely: (i) higher photo-assimilate partitioning towards the shoot; or (ii) increased in the photosy...
