Default epicormal sprouting: can it be used as a growth-accelerator for animals and plants

I have seen epicormic growth before but never realized it was
something special and had its own body
of research and study.

When I have witnessed epicormal sprouting the leaves were larger and
more robust than regular normal leaves.

So what I am wondering is whether the genetic code has been deciphered
for Epicormal Sprouting. Whether
we have a A,C,G,T code for this growth accelerant in plants? And
whether we can learn something from
that coding to apply to animals and other plants.

Can we find out what makes Epicormal Growth and if applied to humans
would make them say grow
twice as large and twice as fast? Or to other plants, should we find
out the secrets of Epicormal Sprouting
and applied to say raspberries would end up with raspberries the size
of crabapples or oranges the size
of grapefruits, or grapefruits the size of watermelons.

So is anyone actively researching Epicormal Sprouting Growth and
whether that knowledge can yield
new and better things?
