ABSTRACT
This study was designed to explore the ameliorative effect of exogenously applied 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) against salt stress in Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper. The plants were treated with four different levels of salinity (0, 8, 12 and 16 dSm-1) followed by the foliar spray of 24-EBL (0, 10-5, 10-7 and 10-9 M). The results showed that 24-EBL could alleviate the adverse effects of salinity by improving the growth parameters of 35 days old plants. The same also stimulated the leaf enzymatic antioxidant activity in salt-treated plants. The findings of the present study revealed that application of 24-EBL ameliorated the salt stress in black gram plants.
