“…Ascorbic acid has been suggested to protect ni~'ogenase against the denaturing effect of quinones formed as a result of oxidation of phenols (Koch et al 1967). Saccharides, proteins and amino acids are actively involved in the initiation and development of nodules (Dhir and Rao 1987). Perusal of data (Fig.…”

The effect of different phenolic compounds: p-hydroxybenzoic acid, resorcinol and chlorogenic acid (mono-, di-and polyphenol) was studied on nodulation and related metabolic processes in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. cv. Al-15). Nitrogenease activity, leghaemoglobin and ascorbic acid content of the nodules increased with the application of phenols. Phenols increase the contents of amino acids, proteins and total soluble ~arbohydrates in the nodules as reserve food materials.
