Background: The use of allelopathic plant extracts as herbicide is being popularized in recent years. Objective: This research has been conducted to evaluate the allelopathic potential of caltrop (Tribulus terrestris L.) on seed germination and growth of Avena fatua L., Chenopodium album L., Setaria viridis L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L. Methods: This research was done to evalature the ef...

Gibberellic acid at 0.1 mum stimulates amylase synthesis in dormant Avena fatua seeds without inducing germination; at 0.5 mm it enhances biosynthesis of proteins and RNA in both the embryo and the endosperm and utilization of the endosperm sugars by the embryo. These events occur in early hours (0-14th hour) and prior to germination, which begins 24 hours after gibberellic acid application. Th...
