24-Epibrassinolide and Sodium Nitroprusside alleviate the salinity stress in Brassica juncea L. cv. Varuna through cross talk among proline, nitrogen metabolism and abscisic acid
Background and aimSoil salinity is one of the major environmental obstacles that limit the crop productivity. A pot experiment was conducted with an aim to explore the ameliorative effects of exogenously applied 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in alone and/or combination against salinity stress in Brassica juncea (L.) cv. Varuna.
