Bayleton more adversely affected on shoot growth as compared to root growth while benlate showed greater inhibition in root growth. Total DNA and RNA contents were decreased by the application of systemic fungicides. An increase in total phenolic content was also recorded in test specie. %K Deoxyribose nucleic acied %K germination %K phenolic content %K seedling growth %K ribose nucleic acid %U http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/ansinet/pjbs/1999/1350-1351.pdf
