Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the laboratories of the Department of Horticulture. G.A.U., Anand during 1993. Three concentration each of GA; and thiourea, distilled water and control (total 8 treatments) were given to the seeds of Anola with 36 h. of subsequent soaking and drying thrice. Observations were recorded 6. 8 and 10 week intervals on protein peroxidase specific activity and chlorophyll content. GA) 500 ppm was effective in increasing the protein content of leaves and stem whereas no treatment was effective in enhancing the peroxidase specific activity in leaves, stems and roots. GA3 250 ppm was again helpful in increasing the total chlorophyll content of the leaves at all the three intervals.
