**Stimulative Effects of Ascorbic Acid, Thiamin or Pyridoxine on Vicia faba Growth and Some Related Metabolic Activities**

Soaking of bean seeds in 100 ppm ascorbic acid, thiamin or pyridoxine induced a stimulation effect on germination. Also, soaking of seeds or spraying of bean seedlings (25 day old) with 100 ppm of each of these vitamins, stimulated fresh and dry weight, biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigment fractions and net photosynthetic rate. However, these treatments did not induce a considerable change in dark respiration.
