Abstract
The effect of 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) on the biotic stress tolerance of Brassica juncea L. cv. Varuna has been investigated against two fungal pathogens. The 24-EBL at 15 ยตM was effective in enhancing germination frequency and seedling biomass. The treated plants exhibited higher tolerance to fungal infection.
