Abstract:
In this review, we emphasize structure-activity and the effects on mammals of plant growth bioregulators. plant growth bioregulators can be referred to as "biochemical effectors" since they are substances having biological activity. It is possible to distinguish between "bioregulators" and "regulators" due to the significance of the compounds mentioned above in biochemistry and agrobiology. Thus, "plant growth bioregulators" (PGBRs) are the names given to naturally occurring chemical substances produced by biosynthetic processes. PGBRs affect both plant reign and animal reign. A plethora of plant growth bioregulators were described in the literature, so the structure, activity in plants, and their effects on mammals are presented.
