Abstract

The specific effect of the extract from the fruit pulp of Citrullus lanatus was demonstrated on the seed germination and seedling growth of Citrullus lanatus, Citrullus colocynthis and Pennisetum typhoideum. The extract from C. lanatus inhibited the germination of its own seeds, but promoted that of the other two species. The promoting substance for the growth of root and shoot was found at R f 0.66.
