Abstract
This study was designed to explore the ameliorative effect of exogenously applied 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) against salt stress in Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper. The plants were treated with four different levels of salinity (0, 8, 12 and 16 dSm-1) followed by the foliar spray of 24-EBL (0, 10-5, 10-7 and 10-9 M). The results showed that 24-EBL could alleviate the adverse effects of salinity by improving the growth parameters of 35 days old plants. The same also stimulated the leaf enzymatic antioxidant activity in salt-treated plants. The findings of the present study revealed that application of 24-EBL ameliorated the salt stress in black gram plants.
期刊介绍:
Legume Research An International Journal. The Journal is an official publication of Agricultural Research Communication Centre. It is designed to bring out the original research articles on genetics, breeding, physiology, bacterial avtivity, production, quality, biochemistry and seeds of legumes crops. The objective of the journal is to serve as a forum for scientific community to publish their research findings on legumes ans to provide basis for new research. Journal is being scanned in the important indexing and abstracting services.
