“…These results are similar to those reported by Muthuchelian et al [25], who reported that TRIA treatment increased the synthesis of chlorophylls a and b , enhanced CO 2 assimilation, and increased both the starch, and sugars content in E. variegata seedlings under different stress conditions. The observation of changes in the carotenoid content in leaves following TRIA applications is supported by the finding of Moorthy and Kathiresan [29], who reported that TRIA treatments increased the leaf carotenoid content of Rhizophora apiculata . The photosynthetic or quantum yield (Fv/Fm) of the treated plants was significantly affected by TRIA treatment in the present study.…”

Selected physiological and biochemical parameters were monitored at the vegetative and reproductive growth stages in potted Bougainvillea plants treated with five different concentrations of TRIA. Advanced flowering, flower bud number, and blooming rate increased significantly with 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L TRIA treatments. Similarly, photosynthetic rate, pigment content, quantum yield, and stomatal conductance increased significantly with 2.5, 1.0, and 5.0 mg/L TRIA treatments. Higher levels of N, P, and K, as well as increased total soluble solids (TSS) and higher sugar and protein contents, were recorded in treated plants. Furthermore, 46% more flowers, a 1.5-fold increase in bract weight, increased longevity, and 40% less leaf abscission were recorded following 2.5 mg/L TRIA treatment. Phenol and flavonoid contents, sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), and antioxidant activities were also markedly increased with 2.5 and 1.0 mg/L TRIA treatments. However, ethylene production was significantly lower in the treated plants. Positive correlations were observed between leaf TSS and flowering time and flower number, between leaf sugar content and bract weight, and between net photosynthesis and bract growth and dry matter production. It can be concluded that the foliar spray of TRIA stimulates growth, enhances flowering, and improves the quality of potted Bougainvillea plants.

“…Data presented in Table 1 prove that plants treated with triacontanol utilized the PFD energy in PSII centers by over 22 % more effectively than control ones. It was also underlined by Moorthy and Kathiresan (1993) stating that triacontanol had positively effects on complexes focusing light in PSI and PSII. Values of other evaluated or calculated parameters (NPQ) resulted from (IlPsii.…”

“…Since then, the interests of triacontanol have widely increased and many experiments conducted proved it has positively affected the growth and yielding of plants (Asane et al 1998, Barua 1998, chlorophyll content and photosynthesis activity in plants (Popova et al 1989, Moorthy and Kathiresan 1993, Ivanow 1997, Blamowski et al 1998). …”

“…Ma et al (1990) found that TRIA had a significant stimulating effect on the in vitro growth of the plant, Malus domestica cv 'fugi'. Moorthy and Kathiresan (1993) studied the physiological responses of mangroove seedlings to TRIA. Moreover, TRIA enhances the production of secondary metabolites in Artemisia annua (Yaseen and Tajuddin, 1998).…”
