“…This positive finding could result from the improvement of the transpiration rate in the treated stressed plants ( Table 3 ). The same results were obtained by Shahid et al [ 71 ] and Lima and Lobato [ 72 ]. EBR 24 maintains the plant RWC under IWD stress by improving the water, pressure, and osmotic (solute) potentials due to the beneficial role of EBR 24 in sustaining cellular membrane permeability and integrity under IWD stress conditions [ 73 ].…”

The influence of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR24), applied to leaves at a concentration of 5 μM, on plant physio-biochemistry and its reflection on crop water productivity (CWP) and other agronomic traits of six maize hybrids was field-evaluated under semi-arid conditions. Two levels of irrigation water deficiency (IWD) (moderate and severe droughts; 6000 and 3000 m3 water ha–1, respectively) were applied versus a control (well-watering; 9000 m3 water ha–1). IWD reduced the relative water content, membrane stability index, photosynthetic efficiency, stomatal conductance, and rates of transpiration and net photosynthesis. Conversely, antioxidant enzyme activities and osmolyte contents were significantly increased as a result of the increased malondialdehyde content and electrolyte leakage compared to the control. These negative influences of IWD led to a reduction in CWP and grain yield-related traits. However, EBR24 detoxified the IWD stress effects and enhanced all the above-mentioned parameters. The evaluated hybrids varied in drought tolerance; Giza-168 was the best under moderate drought, while Fine-276 was the best under severe drought. Under IWD, certain physiological traits exhibited a highly positive association with yield and yield-contributing traits or CWP. Thus, exogenously using EBR24 for these hybrids could be an effective approach to improve plant and water productivity under reduced available water in semi-arid environments.

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting productivity and quality of agricultural crops. The adverse effects concern germination, plant vigor, and crop yield in arid and semiarid regions. Most crops are salinity sensitive or even hypersensitive and they are described as glycophytes. In contrast, high salinity is tolerated by halophytes, which are present in very small numbers, accounting for approx. only 1 % of the world's fl ora. Glycophytes develop some adaptation mechanisms to monitor salt stress and regulate plant physiology and metabolism in order to cope with this stress. Phytohormones are recognized as vital agents in the adaptation process during salt stress. Plant hormones including abscisic acid, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene, brassinosteroids, and the others can regulate that cross talk and responses to salt stress. Molecules, such as transcription factors and MAP kinases, are main agents involved in stress signaling pathways and phytohormone cross talk. This chapter provides an explanation of the salt stress mechanism, while salt stress tolerance and the roles of different plant hormones are presented. The effects of endogenous and exogenous phytohormones on adaptation to salt stress are characterized.
