Brassinosteroids make plant life easier under abiotic stresses mainly by modulating major components of antioxidant defense system (2015, methodology): “In another study on cucumber pretreated with 24-epiBL (0.3 and 1.0 mmol·L−1 chlorpyrifos) and exposed to chilling stress, these authors reported elevations in the activities of APX, GR, CAT, and GPX that eventually alleviated the chillingaccrued phytotoxicity (Hu et al., 2013).”
Effects of 2,4-epibrassinolide on photosynthesis and Rubisco activase gene expression in Triticum aestivum L. seedlings under a combination of drought and heat stress (2016, background): “Previous studies have demonstrated that EBR pretreatment significantly alleviates the inhibition of photosynthesis induced by high temperatures and drought (Ogweno et al. 2008; Hu et al. 2013).”
Regulation of Photosynthesis during Abiotic Stress-Induced Photoinhibition. (2015, methodology): “Exogenous application of BRs in pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants appear 466 to mitigate the deleterious effects of drought on photosynthesis by maintaining or increasing the 467 efficient use of light and NPQ in PSII antennae (Hu et al., 2013).”
