Abstract
Grapefruit, sweet orange, lemon, lime, mandarin, and other citrus fruits are among the world's most important tree fruit crops. Seeds are used to propagate the majority of Citrus rootstock species. The goal of this study was to determine how different growth regulators affected seed germination. The seeds were soaked in various quantities of growth regulators such as Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Auxin) and 6-benzyl aminopurine (Cytokinin) to observe how they affected germination. It was found that when the increasing concentration of auxin (ppm), root size also increased at that time and variation seen in shoot size. So auxin is more affected on root size compare to shoot size. When increasing Cytokinin (ppm) concentration, shoot size decrease at that time and variation seen in root size. Cytokinin is more affected by shoot size in comparison to root size. In the different ratio of Auxin and Cytokinin, root size and shoot size is different. While using Auxin Cytokinin ratio positive results were obtained in both root and shoot growth when compared to the control. This is the maximum height and positive experimental observations based on all of the above observations.
