Effect of GA3, Thiamine in Some Yield Component and Active Substance on Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.)

Abstract

The experiment was conducted at field of garden of Department of Biology, Collage
of Education (Ibn-Al-Haitham) University of Baghdad during winter season of 2009-2010.
The aim of present study is the effect of growth regulator Gibberellins by using two
concentrations (100, 200) ppm and also Thiamine in two concentrations (10, 50) ppm, on the
some yield component characters and active component of volatile oil Cumin (Cuminum
cyminum L.).
The results showed that GA3 in (100) ppm increased the yield component, protein
concentration and increased in Cuminaldehyde, Perillaldehyde and Thyoml concentration.
The results showed that the best concentration was (50) ppm of Thiamine showed an
increasing concentration of (Cuminaldehyde, Terpinene amd Perillaldehyde). The interaction
between (100) ppm Gibberellin and (50) ppm Thiamine gave an increase in most parameter
used in present study.
