| Abstract | Brassinosteroids have been widely applied to confer plant resistance to various stresses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of exogenous epibrassinolide (EBL) in some physiological processes in the leaves of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) seedlings grown under zinc (Zn) stress conditions. Exposure to 10 mM Zn treatment for 8 days led to an inhibition of eggplant growth, a decrease in chlorophyll level, and an aggravation of oxidative damage. Exogenous spray of 0.1 µM EBL dramatically alleviated oxidative damage caused by excess Zn, as shown by decreases in the levels of malondialdehyde and superoxide anion, and increases in plant growth, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase, guaiacol peroxidase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase in the leaves of eggplant seedlings under Zn stress. It was also observed that osmolytes such as soluble sugars and free proline were further increased in EBL plus Zn-treated eggplant seedlings. Furthermore, EBL treatment alone or in combination with Zn stress significantly enhanced indole-3-acetic acid and zeatin riboside contents, while a sharp increase in abscisic acid content was recorded for EBL application under Zn stress. Results in the present work revealed that EBL greatly alleviated harmful effects of Zn stress on eggplants by activating antioxidant enzyme responses, accumulation of osmolytes, and balancing endogenous hormones. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
