Prostaglandin inhibitors and the development of mung bean seedlings.
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.
