• Brassinosteroids and their role in response of plants to abiotic stresses (2014, background): “On the other hand, BRs enhance the activity of CAT and reduce the activities of POX and ascorbic acid oxidase under osmotic stress in sorghum (Vardhini and Rao 2003) and also regulate secondary metabolism in tomato which may enhance tolerance to phenanthrene (Ahammed et al.”
• The Physiological, Biochemical and Molecular Roles of Brassinosteroids and Salicylic Acid in Plant Processes and Salt Tolerance (2010, methodology): “Similarly, application of 24-EBR or 28-HBL through the root growing media was highly effective in accelerating seed germination and seedling growth of sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) under osmotic stress (Vardhini and Rao, 2003).”
• Alterations of Endogenous Hormonal Levels in Plants under Drought and Salinity (2016, background): “The BRs treatment has also been reported to increase seedling growth of Sorghum vulgare under osmotic stress [84], and improve the drought tolerance in Phaseolus vulgaris [85].”
• Arabidopsis Brassinosteroid Mutants det2-1 and bin2-1 Display Altered Salt Tolerance (2010, background): “5b), supporting a previous report that exogenous EBR could enhance proline accumulation induced by 20% PEG treatment in Sorghum (Vardhini and Rao 2003).”
• Brassinosteroids make plant life easier under abiotic stresses mainly by modulating major components of antioxidant defense system (2015, background): “28-HomoBL and 24-epiBL ameliorated the negative impact of PEG-imposed osmotic/water stress in CSH-14, ICSV (Vardhini and Rao, 2003a) and CSH-15 (Vardhini and Rao, 2005) varieties of Sorghum vulgare seedlings by increasing the activity of CAT and the contents of free proline and nucleic acids.”

• Comparative Effects of Salt and Water Stress on Seed Germination and Early Embryo Growth in Two Cultivars of Sweet Sorghum (2013, background): “proline) in the embryo that has been demonstrated to occur during imbibition in PEG solution, as an adaptive strategy to prevent germination under stressful environment (Vardhini and Rao 2003), may also account for lower and delayed seed germination and lower root and shoot elongation at the highest”
