The present disclosure provides the use of 4-(Phenylethynyl) benzoic acid in preparing a plant growth regulator. 4-(Phenylethynyl) benzoic acid has a formula as C.sub.15H.sub.10O.sub.2, a molecular weight of 222.2390. The optimum concentration of 4-(Phenylethynyl) benzoic acid in the plant growth regulator is in a range of 10 μM to 200 μM. The plant growth regulator further contains a pesticidally acceptable carrier. The present disclosure further provides the use of 4-(Phenylethynyl) benzoic acid in regulating plant growth. In the use of 4-(Phenylethynyl) benzoic acid in preparing a plant growth regulator of the present disclosure, 4-(Phenylethynyl) benzoic acid has the ABA-like effects, and is more stable, easily available, cheaper, and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the present disclosure is suitable for large-scale popularization.
