Table 1. Quantitative parameters of growth in control and thiourea treated plants.

Control Thiourea
Vegetative phase Average shoot length (cm) 7.3±0.5 17*±2.7
Average leaf area (mm2) 5196±920 7629*±453
Maturity phase Internodal distance between two pods (cm) 1.5±0.07 1.8*±0.07
Pod length (cm) 4.3±0.05 4.5*±0.05
Pod width (cm) 0.3±0.01 0.4*±0.01
Average weight of 1000 seeds (g) 3.0±0.002 3.1*±0.001
Average number of seeds per pod 12.7±0.33 14.1*±0.35

At vegetative phase, values represent mean ± SD of ten individual plants. At maturity phase, values represent mean ± SD of ten independent biological replicates where each replicate denotes the data pooled from ten plants. The significance of mean difference (P<0.05) was evaluated on the basis of student t-test and marked with asterisk (*).
