Utilization of Okra is now widely allied with the hindrance of diseases like cancer, goiter and cardiovascular disorder due to its antioxidant components. Leaves of okra have the tendency to reduce oxygen free radicals. Although poor germination and slower growth of open-pollinated crop as compared to hybrid variety open up the tremendous scope in terms of using various seed enhancement technique. The present investigation was undertaken in order to know the effect of pre-sowing invigorating seed treatments through priming on various antioxidant and germination enzymes including chlorophyll and protein content in open pollinated (MIS077) and Hybrid (Bhindi No. 10) variety of Okra. The different pre-sowing invigouration seed treatments showe... view more»
