Abstract

The effects of biological important ligands, levodopa (LDP) and ampicillin (AMP) and their binary and ternary complexes using aspartic acid (ASP) as a primary ligand with biological important divalent transition metal ions (Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) on germination, survival, seedling height etc. on Hordeum vulgare (barley or jav) plant was studied at 303 K. Experiments show that binary and ternary complex solutions of Co (II) may function as plant growth regulator, ternary complex solution giving good results as compare to binary, provided that Hordeum vulgare seeds are soaked in complex solution of pH 5.00 for 12 hours.
