“including jasmonic acid (JA), brassinosteroids (BRs), and putrescine (Put) on photosynthetic parameters, seed yield, essential oil content, essential oil yield, and water use efficiency of seed (WUEseed) of fennel. The results indicated that fennel leaves grown under mild drought stress maintained their relative water content by osmotic adjustment mainly through soluble sugars. Photosynthetic parameters, including leaf chlorophyll index, the maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry, net photosynthesis, and transpiration rate were similar in non-stressed plants and mildly-stressed plants prior to flowering. Essential oil content increased in stressed plants, but essential oil yield decreased. WUEseed slightly improved in plants under moderate drought stress. Regardless of the stress level, all three PGRs increased seed yield, primarily by increasing the seed number.”
