title: Prostaglandin inhibitors and the development of mung bean seedlings.
abstract: The effect of cortisol and prostaglandin inhibitors on the growth and development of germinating mung bean, Vigna radiata L. Wilzek, cv. Jumbo was investigated. Cortisol, indomethacin, and a mixture of cortisol with aspirin, or benoxaprofen significantly increased radicle length and the number of lateral roots as compared with non-treated controls. A mixture of cortisol and indomethacin significantly increased growth of hypocotyls.
