- Abstract
The effects of P. aquilinum alcoholic extract on germination, growth and development of P. pratensis seedlings were examined. The extract decreased the germination and seedling growth, decreased chlorophyll, caretenoid and protein content depending on the extract concentration. Increasing concentrations decreased all these parameters proportionately simulating the effects of allelopathy in ecosystem. The GCMS analysis of alcoholic extract showed the presence of pterosin B and pterosin F which are inhibitory to the seed germination and development P. pratensis.
