Ekta K. Patel*, Dr. Deepika K. Chandawat and Dr. Yogesh M. Patel
ABSTRACT
Light is a source of energy for green plants. It plays an important role for the growth and development of plants. It helps in the process of photosynthesis, photoperiodism, and phototropism and photo- morphogenesis. Seed germination is an important physiological process in the life cycle of plants. In the present paper effect of light (different wavelength) on seed germination of Vigna radiata was studied. From the study it was found that earlier and maximum seed germination was observed in red light followed by green, blue and yellow.
Keywords: Seed Germination, Light, Wavelengths and Vigna radiata.
