Effect of oxytetracyline on seed germination, early seedling growth and some biochemical changes in germinating seeds of soybean .
Abstract
The results of the present study indicate that, relatively, lower concentrations of oxytetracyciine enhanced seed germination, seedling growth, hydrolysis of buffer-soluble proteins, starch and nucleic acids in the cotyledons and promoted the translocation of hydrolysed products to the growing embryonic axis. On the contrary, the higher concentrations of oxytetracycline suppressed seed germination, seedling growth, hydrolysis of buffer-soluble proteins, starch and nucleic acids and also prevented the translocation of hydrolysed products to the embryonic
axis.
