Brassinosteroids enhance cold tolerance in Elymus nutans via mediating redox homeostasis and proline biosynthesis

Exogenous methyl jasmonate promotes salt stress‐induced growth inhibition and prioritizes defense response of Nitraria tangutorum Bobr.

“…Electrolyte leakage was measured using a conductivity meter (SevenGo Duo, Mettler Toledo) as previously described (Fu et al, 2019). At the end of the treatment, fresh leaves (three to four) taken on middle shoot of each seedling were washed with deionized water, immersed in 10 ml deionized water, incubated for 2 h at 25°C, and then the conductivity (E 1 ) was measured.…”

Brassinosteroids in Plants: Crosstalk with Small-Molecule Compounds

“…TaBZR2 (a BR transcription factor) interacted with the gene promoter to activate the expression of TaGST1 , and the TaGST1 could decrease superoxide anions (O 2 − ) to contribute to drought tolerance in Triticum aestivum [ 37 ]. Moreover, EBR enhanced the cold tolerance of Elymus nutans by increasing proline content, decreasing MDA and ROS accumulation [ 38 ]. A previous study suggested that seed priming with EBR, nitrogen supplementation, and a combination of both could improve the activities of antioxidative enzymes to further decrease the lipid peroxidation and H 2 O 2 generation under normal and salt stress in soybean [ 39 ].…”

Foliar brassinosteroid analogue (DI-31) sprays increase drought tolerance by improving plant growth and photosynthetic efficiency in lulo plants

“…Resilience to drought conditions in lulo plants after exogenous application of DI-31 may be related to the improvement of the activity of the major ROS-scavenging molecules (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) (Serna et al, 2012b;Ahanger et al, 2018;P erez-Borroto et al, 2021). Additionally, BRs analogues may induce the expression of genes of proline synthesis that promote a higher proline (Yadav et al, 2012;Fu et al, 2019), and promote the elimination of ROS, the stability of plant cell membrane, and plant water status (Yadav et al, 2012;Vardhini and Anjum, 2015;P erez-Borroto et al, 2021).…”
