Plants are always under the exposure of light and various abioticfactors. High and low level exposure of plants to these factors leadsto generation of one or other types stress conditions in plants. Thesetypes of stress conditions are often visible in terms morphologicalchanges like alternation in root and shoot length, leaf size and leafcolour and enzyme activities. As plants always remained fixed totheir place, they could not move to avoid these stresses. Therefore,plants undergo various types metabolic shifts and changes inactivities of various enzymes associated with their metabolism. Lightand various types of solutes namely gibberellic acid, sucrose,polyethylene glycol, gibberellic acid magnesium chloride andglucose are the common abiotic factors inhabited by all the plants inany habitat. Catalase is one of the most important stress combatingenzyme that are present in almost all the plants. The present studydetailed the morphological changes in response to these abiotic factorand possible role of catalase during these processes. The presentstudy was carried in Brassica campestris widely cultivated as a leafvegetable and for edible oil used in cooking.
