Abstract:Salinity is a serious environmental problem following a worsening trend. This study investigates the role of 24-epibrassinolide(EBR) in regulating plant growth and physiological performances, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of salt stress. Melia azedarach L. seedlings from two seed sources, Sheyang (SY) and Xiashu (XS), were exposed to sea salt and treated with different concentrations of EBR within a 60-day period. The results demonstrate that appropriate EBR application improved the seedling… Show more
“…Htet et al [6] explored the role of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) in regulating the growth and physiological performance of Melia azedarach seedlings from two different seed sources under varying salt stress levels over a 60-day experimental period. Their main finding indicated that the appropriate application of EBR enhanced seedling stress tolerance by promoting growth and physiological systems.…”
As the most critical stage in the plant life cycle, the seedling period assumes a crucial role in forest community succession and vegetation restoration [...]
