Responses of Nigella sativa to foliar application of gibberellic acid and kinetin
2007
Shah, S. H | Ahmad, I | Samiullah,
Foliar sprays of water or 1, 10 and 100 μM aqueous solutions of gibberellic acid (GA₃) or kinetin (KIN) were applied to 40-d-old plants of Nigella sativa (L.) to study their effects on net photosynthetic rate, nitrogen metabolism, and the seed yield. 10 μM solutions of both the hormones, especially GA₃, appreciably increased the activities of nitrate reductase and carbonic anhydrase, chlorophyll and total protein contents and net photosynthetic rate in the leaves, along with capsule number and seed yield plant-¹, at harvest.
