Effects of 24-epibrassinolide on growth and metal uptake in Brassica juncea L. under copper metal stress

摘要

The present investigation describes the effects of 24-epibrassinolide on plant growth, copperuptake and bioconcentration factor in the plants of Brassica juncea L. cv. PER 91 under Cu metal stress. Thestudy revealed that there was an improvement in the shoot emergence and plant biomass production underthe influence of pre-germination treatment of 24-epibrassinolide (24-epiBL). In addition, 24-epiBL blockedcopper metal uptake and accumulation in the plants.
