24-Epibrassinolide confers zinc stress tolerance in watermelon seedlings through modulating antioxidative capacities and lignin accumulation.

Zinc (Zn) is an important element in plants, but over-accumulation of Zn is harmful. It is well-known that brassinolide (BR) plays a key role in the regulation of abiotic stress responses in plants. However, the effects of brassinolide on alleviating Zn phytotoxicity in watermelon ( L.

Exogenous Brassinosteroid Enhances Zinc tolerance by activating the Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis pathway in Citrullus lanatus L.

Zinc (Zn) is an important element in plants, but over-accumulation of Zn is harmful. The phytohormone brassinosteroids (BRs) play a key role in regulating plant growth, development, and response to stress. However, the role of BRs in watermelon ( L.
