Hormones regulate a number of activities of the plants like gormination, growth, flowering and fruiting. Evidence at hand supports the thesis that growth hormones, both naturally occuring and synthetic chemical act at the gene level influencing the trancla tional transcriptional and mechanisms of protein biosynthesis (Key, 1969). An attempt has been made to find out whether the yield of Co3 red gram can be increased by hormone spray and to see whether the grain yleld and yield of grein protein may be increased hy har. vesting at physiological maturity instead of waiting for on field loss of moisture of grain.
