Abstract: | Studies on exogenous application of phenolic compoundsviz: p-hydroxybenzoic acid, resorcinol and chlorogenic acid each with concentration of 10-4 M are done on the legume (Cajanus
cajan (L.)Millsp.) AL-15. The effect of applied phenolic compounds as well as of structural differences in phenols indicate a marked
influence of phenolic compounds in regulating growth processes in plants. Fresh and dry mass of various plant parts increased
after foliar spray with phenols resulting in an improved harvest index. It is seen that phenols also play an important role
in the initiation and development of nodules. |
