Foliar sprays of water or 1, 10 and 100 microM aqueous solutions of gibberellic acid (GA3) or kinetin were applied to 40-d-old plants of Nigella sativa to study their effects on net photosynthetic rate, nitrogen metabolism, and the seed yield. Ten microM 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 per plant.
