Effect of Exogenous Application of Brassinolide on Growth and Metabolic Activity of Wheat Seedlings under Normal and Salt Stress Conditions

Key Points

• Brassinolide application significantly enhances growth in wheat seedlings exposed to salt stress.
• Under test conditions, seedlings treated with brassinolide showed a marked increase in metabolic activity, improving resilience.
• Analysis of plant growth metrics revealed that seedlings under salt stress with brassinolide treatment outperformed controls over the growth period.
• The findings indicate that brassinolide could be a promising intervention for enhancing crop resilience to environmental stressors.
