Response of Indian mustard to Nutrients and Plant Growth Regulators: The Influence on Yield, Available Soil P Balance and P Recycling through Residues

“…), biosynthesis of cell wall, chlorophyll, vascular bundle differentiation, pollen tube growth, microtubular organization, transport of assimilates from one part to another etc. These functions of BR improve anti-oxidative defence system of plants and enhance bio-synthesis of total proteins, nucleic acid, photosynthesis that finally growth and yield of plants (Haubrick and Assmann, 2006, Hayat, 2010and Hola, 2011, Biesaga et al, 2014. BR is superior to IAA in significantly effecting higher growth and yield of Indian mustard due to higher chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate and carbonic anhydrase activity (Hayat et al, 2001).…”

Rol de los brasinoesteroides en frutales con énfasis en condiciones de estrés abiótico: Una revisión

“…Una de las diversas funciones de los BR en las plantas superiores es su posible participación en la estimulación de la fotosíntesis. Se ha descrito que la aplicación exógena de BR podría mejorar la tasa fotosintética neta en varias especies de plantas, principalmente en plantas estresadas por varios factores de tipo abiótico (como sequía, temperatura alta o baja, salinidad o metales pesados) (Holá, 2011). BR tienen la posibilidad de estimular mecanismos para proteger el aparato fotosintético mediante el aumento del sistema antioxidante y de mecanismos de disipación de la energía (Fang et al, 2019;Ahammed et al, 2020).…”

Brassinosteroids – An Essential Steroidal Regulator: Its Structure, Synthesis and Signaling in Plant Growth and Development- A Review

“…Brassinolide (BL) is the most bioactive form of growth promoting plant steroids termed as Brassinosteroids (BRs). At present 70 such analogues (65 unconjugated and 5 conjugated) have been identified from 60 plant species including 51 angiosperms (12 monocotyledons and 38 dicotyledons), 1-pteridophyte (Equisetum arvense), 1 bryophyte (Marchantia polymorpha) and 1 chlorophyte and rest gymnosperms (Hayat and Ahmad, 2011). Their multiple effects they can affect general plant and many developmental process such as seed germination, rhizogenesis, flowering senescense, abscission and maturation, leaf bending and epinasty.…”
