“…BRs was first studied as the regular PGRs capable of modulating a wide range of physiological functions like source/sink relationships, seed germination, photosynthesis, senescence, photomorphogenesis, flowering and responses to different abiotic and biotic stresses [8]. The research on BRs exhibited their ability in overcoming various abiotic stresses like high temperature [9], low temperature in terms of chilling [10,11] as well as freezing [12], salt [13,14], light [15], water in terms of drought [16,17] as well as flooding [18], heavy metals [19][20][21], osmotic [22], herbicide [23], pesticide [24], inorganic pollutants [25,26] as well as organic pollutants [27,28] stresses. Further, BRs were also [29,30], nematodes [31,32], fungi [33], insects [34], bacteria [35] etc.…”
