Effects of 28-homobrassinolide (HBR) and kinetin (KIN) on photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and the seed yield were studied. The leaves of 25-d-old plants of Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek were sprayed with 0.01, 1.0 or 100 μM aqueous solution of KIN, or 0.0001, 0.01 or 1.0 μM that of HBR. KIN and especially HBR increased the activities of nitrate reductase and carbonic anhydrase, chlorophyll and total protein contents and net photosynthetic rate in the leaves, and pod number and seed yield, at harvest.

Keywords: brassinosteroid; carbonic anhydrase; leaf protein; mung bean; net photosynthetic rate; nitrate reductase; seed yield
Subjects: brassinosteroid, photosynthesis, kinetin; carbonic anhydrase; chlorophyll, 28-homobrassinolide, kinetin; cytokinins; gas exchange, kinetin, seed yield; mung bean, photosynthesis, kinetin; nitrate reductase; protein, photosynthesis, kinetin; seed yield, photosynthesis, kinetin; Vigna radiata
