Salinity can be considered a limiting factor to the growth and development of plants to affect various physiological processes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 24 -epibrassinolide in emergence, seedling growth, leaf area and chlorophyll concentration in two cultivars of rice in salt stress condition. The study was conducted at the research laboratory of seeds and greenhouse of the Department of Botany UFPel. Rice seeds of cvs. BRS Bojurú tolerant to salinity and BRS Querência not tolerant, were soaked for two hours in water, 100 mMNaCl and 100 mMNaCl solutions supplemented with 24 -epibrassinolide at concentrations of 0.01, 0,1 and 1.0 mM and sown in expanded polypropylene tray. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments, two cultivars and four replications. Means were compared by Tukey test (p < 5 %), within each cultivar. In cv.
