Numerous studies have highlighted the BR (brassinosteroid) induced stress tolerance to
different environmental cues. Increased free radicals and other oxidative species are …

Heavy metal pollution often occurs together with organic contaminants. Brassinosteroids
(BRs) induce plant tolerance to several abiotic stresses, including phenanthrene (PHE) and …

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a typical persistent organic pollutant with a high load in the
agricultural soils of vegetable crops. Currently, studies on the toxicity of DBP in vegetable …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are well-ascertained growth regulators that play prime roles in
alleviation of a stress in plants. The current investigation determined the impact of …

Photosynthesis plays an essential role in plant growth and crop yield, and the mechanisms
of the effects of cadmium (Cd) on photosynthetic performance require more attention. The …
