Abstract
Ceratonia siliqua L. fruit contained both the growth promoting and inhibiting substances at all the stages of development. Level of growth promoting substances decreased gradually with the maturation of pods while that of inhibiting increased. Young seeds had a significant inhibitory but no promoting activity, but mature had both. The concentration of reducing and non-reducing sugars found was correlated to the balance of growth substances. Total sugar content increased with an increase of inhibitory and decrease of promoting substances. Seeds contained no sugar.
