Abstract excerpt
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroid hormones and, when applied exogenously, they induce physiological responses, including tolerance to heat shock (HS). How endogenous BR content and altered perception of BRs influence thermal tolerance is poorly understood. BR-induced thermotolerance in tomato seedlings with altered BR homeostasis was examined by assessing the survival, ion leakage and lipid peroxidation of...
