24-Epibrassinolide alleviates salt-induced inhibition of productivity by increasing nutrients and compatible solutes accumulation and enhancing antioxidant system in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Alleviation of drought-induced oxidative stress in maize (Zea mays L.) plants by dual application of 24-epibrassinolide and spermine

“…Asterisks indicate significant differences at the 0.05 level compared with the unsprayed plant. enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidants in plants under different stress conditions (Farooq et al, 2009;Yiu et al, 2009;Mahesh et al, 2013;Radhakrishnan and Lee, 2013;Talaat and Shawky, 2013;Morales et al, 2014). Therefore, improving maize droughttolerance via exogenous application of EBL and/or Spm is of great importance.…”

“…4) required running ascorbate-glutathione cycle for efficient detoxification. Several reports indicated that BRs application enhanced the antioxidant enzymes activity under various stresses (Zhang et al, 2008;Behnamnia et al, 2009;Li et al, 2012;Talaat and Shawky, 2013). The enhanced activity of enzymatic antioxidants by BRs seems to be the result of de novo synthesis and/or activation of the enzymes, mediated through the transcription and/or translation of specific genes (Bajguz, 2000), that has added potential to the stressed plants to resist the oxidative stress induced by water stress.…”

Reversion of deleterious effects of salt stress by activation of ROS detoxifying enzymes via foliar application of 24-epibrassinolide in rice seedlings

“…In another study with the same species, Ali et al (2008) found that continuous supply of EBL to the roots through the nutrient solution supplemented or not with 120 mmol L -1 NaCl, not only improved plant growth, but also stimulated grain yield and improved some yield components. More recently, Talaat and Shawky (2013) found that treatment of salt stressed wheat plants with EBL, improved plant production mediated by an increase in nutrient uptake.…”

“…It has been reported that BRs can confer protection against damaging effects of biotic and abiotic stress (Ding et al 2009;Núñez et al 2003Núñez et al , 2013. These include extreme temperatures (Janeczko et al 2011), drought and salinity (Li et al 2012;Talaat and Shawky 2013), heavy metals toxicity (Villiers et al 2012;Yusuf et al 2012), nutrient deficiency, herbicides and pathogens (Yang et al 2011).…”

Effects of 24‐epibrassinolide application on cool‐season turfgrass growth and quality under salt stress

“…; Houimli et al . ; Talaat and Shawky ). However, no reports are available in the turfgrass literature concerning exogenous 24‐epibrassinolide (EBL) effects on turfgrass growth and tolerance to salt stress.…”
