The influence of gibberellic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 6-benzylaminopurine on fruit-set of Clementine mandarin
TLDR
The application of 2,4-D and BA to inflorescences of cultivar ‘Fino’ increased fruit-setting and weight of the fruits, although not as efficiently as GA3, both the concentration and the time of application being more critical.About:

Gibberellins and parthenocarpic ability in developing ovaries of seedless mandarins.
TL;DR: Results suggest that endogenous GA content in developing ovaries is the limiting factor controlling the parthenocarpic development of the fruits of the self-incompatible Clementine mandarin.

Induction of Seedlessness in Citrus: From Classical Techniques to Emerging Biotechnological Approaches
Aliza Vardi,Ilan Levin,Nir Carmi +2 more
TL;DR: Conventional breeding in fruit trees has yielded improved cultivars and will most likely continue to be a very important strategy, however, emerging biotechnological approaches should be continuously evaluated for their potential for expediting such breeding efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hormonal changes associated with fruit set and development in mandarins differing in their parthenocarpic ability
TL;DR: The condition of low ability to set parthenocarpic fruits appears to be associated with lower levels of active GAs, lower capability to catabolize ABA to conjugated ABA and higher ability to conjUGate IAA during this period.

Plant Growth Regulators in Citriculture: World Current Uses
TL;DR: An overview of current uses of PGRs in citriculture is provided, including those used to hasten maturity, to delay harvest, and to maintain fruit quality postharvest, resulting in greater profits to the grower.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abscisic acid increases in non‐growing and paclobutrazol‐treated fruits of seedless mandarins
TL;DR: Observations indicate a relationship between high ABA content and a reduced rate of fruit growth and an acceleration of fruit abscission in Clementine and Satsuma.

Plant growth regulators.
TL;DR: Plant growth regulators containing a tricarboxylic acid of the formula in which X denotes methyl or ethyl, n denotes 0, 1 or 2, and R denotes hydrogen, methyl or ethanol, or salts or derivatives thereof as discussed by the authors.

Promoting fruit-set and yield in sweet orange using plant growth substances
TL;DR: Gibberellic acid (GA) was the most promising substance and under glasshouse and controlled environment conditions increased fruit-set when several applications were made, but had only a temporary effect when a single spray was applied.
