Comparison of two field pea cultivars EC 4108 and IC 4604 differing in seed size, revealed that bold seeded cv. EC 4108 produced higher levels of endogenous auxin and cytokinin like substances and accumulated higher amounts of reserve materials into the seed. It is suggested that capacity of the seed to grow and accumulate reserve materials is, regulated by endogenous levels of auxim and cytokinin like substances.
