Abstract:
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are considered as the 6th group of plant growth regulators (PGRs) with significant growth promoting activity. BRs have been extensively studied for their physiological roles on growth and metabolism of plants, stress-protective properties against numerous abiotic stresses like heat, chilling, freezing, drought, flooding, oxidative, salt, radiation, heavy metals stresses and biotic stresses. The present mini - review is a study on the role of BRs on certain unique abiotic stresses in plants.
