The plants of Brassica juncea (L) were grown in the presence of NaCl and/or NiCl2 and were sprayed with 1 mu M of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) at 15 days after sowing (DAS) and were sampled at 30 DAS. The plants exposed to NaCl and/or NiCl2 exhibited a significant decline in growth, the level of pigments and photosynthetic parameters. However, the follow up treatment with EBL detoxified the stress generated by NaCl and/or NiCl2 and significantly improved the above parameters. The NaCl and/or NiCl2 increased electrolyte leakage and lipid peroxidation, and decreased the membrane stability index (MSI) and relative water content. However, the EBL treatment in absence of the stress improved the MSI and relative water content but could not influence electrolyte leakage and lipid peroxidation. The antioxidative enzymes and the level of proline exhibited a significant increase in response to EBL as well as to NaCl and/or NiCl2 stress. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
