Abstract
Lupinus albus L. seeds were treated with different concentrations (fro m 10 mu M to 50 mM) of H2O2, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), ascor bate (ASC) and glutathione (GSH). The efficiency as inhibitors on germ ination and on the subsequent growth of the hypocotyl was mCPBA > GSH > ASC: = H2O2, which suggest that inhibitory efficiency was dependent on the compound per se rather than on its redox nature.
