Exposure of groundnut seeds and seedlings to 25, 100, and 250 μM concentrations of jasmonic acid resulted in a reduction of germination percentage, growth, fresh mass, dry mass, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll stability index, proteins and an increase in free proline content and cell membrane injury. The results suggest the inhibitory effect of jasmonic acid on growth of the groundnut seedlings.

Keywords: malondialdehyde; photosynthesis; proline; chlorophyll stability index; cell membrane stability
Subjects: Arachis hypogaea; chlorophyll, jasmonic acid; groundnut, jasmonic acid; jasmonates, jasmonic acid; malondialdehyde; proline, jasmonic acid; proteins, jasmonic acid
