<div style="text-align: justify;">In the recent times, it was shown that panadol (paracetamol) are involved in the processes of growth and development of plants. With this motion the present work was undertaken to explore the effect of panadol treatment on germination and various growth biomarkers of 30-days-old plants of mung bean (Vigna radiata). At 10 days stage of growth, seedlings were sprayed with distilled water (control), 0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.1 mg/L of panadol for 10 days. Treated plants were harvested at 30 days of growth to asses various parameters. The plants that developed from the panadol treatment demonstrated improved germination and growth traits in a concentration dependent manner. Out of the various concentrations (0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.1 or 1.0 mg/L) of panadol tested, 0.1 mg/L proved to be the best.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">In our previous study, we observed that paracetamol (panadol) influences the germination rate and growth biomarker of the Vigna radiate plants. To dissect out the paracetamol mediated changes in this study was undertaken. For this study, 10 days old seedling of Vigna radiata exposed to range of pandol concentration (.005, .01, .1, or 1.0 mg/L) through foliage of plants and harvested at 31st day. Obtained data revealed the dual response of panadol concentration: 0.1 mg/L of panadol significantly increased chlorophyll and leaf gas exchange traits (net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, internal carbon dioxide concentration, water use efficiency and maximum quantum yield of PS II), whereas, 1.0 mg/L of panadol significantly reduced the above &nbsp;parameters. It is therefore concluded that low level of panadol enhanced photosynthetic efficiency of Vigna radiata plants; however, the response is concentration dependent and could be used as growth regulators for Vigna radiata plants.</div>
