Abstract: In recent years, plant growth regulators are widely used in agricultural products. As the toxicity of plant growth regulator residues has gained increasing concerns, trace analysis methods for plant growth regulators have been developed. In this paper, the major methods with advantages and disadvantages for the analysis of plant growth regulator residues in fruits and vegetables are summarized, including gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), chromatographic technique combined with mass spectrometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), capillary electrophoresis (CE) and so on. Meanwhile, the development prospects are also discussed.

Key words: fruits and vegetables, plant growth regulator, analytical methods
