Abstract excerpt
Greenhouse hydroponic experiments were carried out using three different heavy metal accumulation tobacco genotypes to evaluate how different genotypes responded to chromium (Cr) toxicity in the presence of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR; a biologically active brassinosteroid). The results showed that Cr stress caused a marked reduction in plant biomass, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, and photosynthesis...
