  The present study was pertaining to study the mechanism and signaling of BRs under high temperature stress in Brassica juncea L. plants. Results advised that high temperature stress reduced the shoot length, root length, fresh weight of the plants but 28-homobrassinosteroids (28-homoBL) treatment reduced the toxic effect of high temperature stress by improving the same of B. juncea L. plants. To ascertain these free radical scavenging enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Peroxidase (POD), Ascorbate peroxidase (APOX), Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and Indole acetic acid oxidase (IAAO) and lipid oxidation (MDA) were assayed along with photosynthetic pigments, total carbohydrates, reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars. All studied scavenging enzymes activities were ameliorated by the homoBL treatments. The pigments decreased.. View More»
