چکیده
The present investigation was conducted to determine the effect of PBZ and ABA on total phenol contents in different parts of Ocimum sanctum. Paclobutrazol (PBZ) a triazole fungicide, having plant growth regulator (PGR) properties, is reported to inhibit gibberellic acid biosynthesis and increase in abscisic acid and cytokinin contents. So, it necessitates the need to investigate the efficacy of this compound in the enhancement of phytochemical content of Ocimum santum in order to increase the medicinal properties, thereby make it an economically valuable medicinal plant. The phytochemical component like total phenol was increased considerably under PBZ and ABA treatments in Ocimum sanctum plants when compared to control.
