Effect Of 24–Epibrassinosteroid On The Vegetative Growth Criteria Of Strawberry Seedling Under Cadmium Stress Conditions
2018
Balci, Gulden
The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 24–epibrassinosteroid (BR) strawberry seedlings grown on vegetative growth under cadmium stress conditions. For this purpose, different amounts of Cd (0, 1.5, 3 ppm) contaminated in growing media and different concentrations of BR (0, 0.5, 1 µM) were applied to the leaves of strawberry seedlings. To evaluate the effects of BR applications on Cd stress in strawberry seedlings, leaf count, leaf area, root length, crown diameter, leaf, stem and root age and dry weight, leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), anthocyanin and membrane permeability (EC) values were measured. As a result of the study, it was found that the application of 0.5 µM BR had significant effects on the chlorophyll content of leaves and body dry weight, 1 µM BR application root length and root age weights. As a result, it was determined that BR applications alleviate Cd stress conditions in strawberry seedlings.
