Homobrassinolide and salicylic acid as potential pgrs to alleviate cadmium stress in ground nut seedlings

Brassinosteroids (BRs) and Salicylic acid (SA) are considered as the 6th and 7th group of plant growth regulators (PGRs) which have the potential in overcoming different abiotic stresses in plants. The stresses caused by metals and metalloids due to the over industrialization in the recent few years is posing a severe threat to the growth and development of plants. The present article is a brief study on the role of BRs and SA as potential alleviators of cadmium (Cd) stress in ground nut seedlings.
