Since the 1940's, natural and synthetic plant growth regulators have been used with increasing incidence to modify crop plants by changing the rate or pattern, or both, of their responses to the internal and external factors that govern development from germination through vegetative growth, reproductive development, maturity, senescence or aging, and postharvest preservation. This review deals with the history of plant growth regulators, regulation of plant metabolism, control of flowering, effects on fruit set and development, control of abscission, control of plant and organ size, recently developed plant growth regulators, and the perceived future for these compounds as related to agricultural needs and economics, the strategies for future searches for effective compounds, and the influence of regulatory issues on the development and availability of these compounds.
