• Plant hormones in salt stress tolerance (2015, background): “Harmoniously, the exogenous application of BRs effectively reduce the adverse effects of abiotic stresses or induce plant stress tolerance (Rao et al. 2002; Fariduddin et al. 2013).”
• The Role of Phytohormones in Alleviating Salt Stress in Crop Plants (2011, background): “In leguminous crops, the number of pods per plant and total seed yield increases after the application of exogenous BRs (Rao et al., 2002).”
• The Physiological, Biochemical and Molecular Roles of Brassinosteroids and Salicylic Acid in Plant Processes and Salt Tolerance (2010, background): “The exogenous application of BRs can effectively reduce the adverse effects of abiotic stresses or induce plant stress tolerance (Cutler, 1991; Hayat et al. , 2000; Rao et al. , 2002).”
• Brassinosteroids make plant life easier under abiotic stresses mainly by modulating major components of antioxidant defense system (2015, background): “BRs are considered also as a new group of plant growth hormones that perform a variety of physiological roles like growth, seed germination, rhizogenesis, senescence, and resistance to plants against various abiotic stresses (Rao et al., 2002).”
• Effect of 24-epibrassinolide on growth, photosynthesis, and essential oil content of Pelargonium graveolens (L.) Herit (2009, background): “of phytohormones with a significant growth-promoting activity [ 5 , 6]. The studies conducted with brassinosteroid biosynthetic mutants of Pisum sativum [7], tomato [8], and Vicia faba [9] provided compelling evidence for the essentiality of this new group of growth regulators for normal growth and ”
• Brassinosteroid (24-epibrassinolide) enhances growth and alleviates the deleterious effects induced by salt stress in pea (Pisum sativum L.) (2011, background): “but brassinosteroids (BRs) are considered the most prominent among rest of others (Rao et al., 2002).”
• Effect of Brassinosteroids on Germination and Seedling Growth of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) under PEG-6000 Induced Water Stress (2013, background): “Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a new group of phytohormones which regulate broad spectrum of physiological processes including seed germination, plant growth, vascular differentiation and photomorphogenetic process [2,3].”
• Amelioration of osmotic stress by brassinosteroids on seed germination and seedling growth of three varieties of sorghum (2003, background): “Introduction phytohormones with significant growth promoting influence (Clouse and Sasse 1998; Rao et al. 2002).”
• Does exogenous application of 24-epibrassinolide ameliorate salt induced growth inhibition in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)? (2008, background): “Furthermore, exogenous application of brassinosteroids alleviates the adverse effects of various environmental stresses and produces resistance in plants against these stresses (Hamada 1986; Cutler 1991; Hayat et al. 2000; Rao et al. 2002), such as salt stress (Hathout 1996; Vardhini and Rao 1997), ”
