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 (*).
