ZAMIN SHAHEED SIDDIQUI* AND ARIF-UZ-ZAMAN
Abstract
The effects of three concentrations of Capsicum leachates on germination, seedling growth, chlorophyll and chlorophyll supply-orientation (precursors for chlorophyll biosynthesis) in Vigna radiata var. NM98 were investigated. Capsicum leachates inhibited the germination of V. radiata seeds and also negatively affected root and shoot growths at 50 or 75%. Two-week old etiolated seedlings of V. radiata were cultured in growth chamber in one-tenth Hoagland culture solution with or without 25, 50 or 75% leachates. Leaves were harvested at 0, 6
