Abstract

We investigate the effects of hypergravity exposure to commercially available kintab variety of mung bean seeds (Vigna radiata L.). We exposed 18 seeds to 500 × earth gravity for 30 min, while 21 seeds were maintained at earth gravity (control). We observe general improvements (p < 0.05) in plant growth as compared to the control set. After 60 hr, the difference between both the control and experimental groups is no longer significant. This serves as a preliminary study on the effects of hypergravity on mung bean seeds. Recommendations for future work are presented.
