The leaves of 30-d-old plants of Brassica juncea Czern & Coss cv. Varuna were sprayed with 10-6 M aqueous solutions of indole-3-yl-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3), kinetin (KIN), and abscisic acid (ABA) or 10-8 M of 28-homobrassinolide (HBR). All the phytohormones, except ABA, improved the vegetative growth and seed yield at harvest, compared with those sprayed with deionised water (control). HBR was most prominent in its effect, generating 32, 30, 36, 70, 25, and 29 % higher values for dry mass, chlorophyll content, carbonic anhydrase (E.C. 4.2.1.1) activity, and net photosynthetic rate in 60-d-old plants, pods per plant, and seed yield at harvest, over the control, respectively. The order of response to various hormones was HBR > GA3 > IAA > KIN > control > ABA.

Keywords: abscisic acid; Brassica juncea L.; chlorophyll content; gibberellic acid; indole-3-yl-acetic acid; kinetin; net photosynthetic rate; pod and seed number; seed mass and yield
