Paclobutrazol (PP 333) a new growth regulator, was applied to elucidate the effects on growth, sex expression, fruit yield chemical constituents in leaves and tolerance to environmental conditions of cucumber plant, Cucumis sativus L. Application of paclobutrazol by soil drench significantly retarded the plant height, but not by stem or foliar treatment. The optimum concentration of chemical seemed to be 0.5ppm. The cortex cells of PP 333 treated plant were shorter in length but wider in widths than those of untreated ones
