Increment in Seed Germination, Growth and Nitrate Reductase Activity in Seedlings of Mg(NO_3)2~- Hardened Seeds of Mustard

摘要

The seeds of mustard while hardened with 7 5 mM of Mg(NO_3)_2 solution for 12h showed higher % of germination, root-shoot length, fresh weight and nitrate reductase activity of seedlings as compared to non-hardened seeds. Distilled water-hardened seeds also showed higher rate of germination than non-hardened one.
