Gibberellic, Proline, Peas, MicronutrientAbstract
An experiment was conducted in the green garden of Department of Biology/ in College of Education for Pure Sciences Ibn-Al-Haitham/ Baghdad University for the grouth season (2012-2013) to study the effect of three concentrations of gibberellic acid (0, 50, 100) ppm and three concentrations of proline (0, 25, 50) ppm on micronutrients content (Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn) and Copper (Cu) ppm) in addition to total chlorophyll content (µg. cm-2) for the green part of peas plant (Pisum sativum), pots of (8 kg) soil were used, the experiment was conducted according to complete randomized design (CRD) and three replicates, whereby the experiment included (27) pots, the significant variations were compared between means using least significant difference- LSD test. The results have represented that the concentrations (100) ppm of gibberellic acid and (50) ppm of proline led to significant increase of iron and copper contents and total chlorophyll content, whereas the concentrations (50) ppm of gibberellic acid and (50) ppm of proline led to the higher significant contents of zinc and manganese .
