Abstract
Bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris), either noninfested or internally infested with Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli, were immersed in solutions of polyethylene glycol (PEG) or glycerol as well as in solutions of these materials containing streptomycin, tetracycline, and chlorotetracycline. Immersion in either 25% PEG or 60% glycerol solutions did not diminish germination while seedling vigor was slightly reduced. PEG solutions were more effective than glycerol solutions for introduction of antibiotics into seeds (.)
