Brassinosteroids Alleviate Flooding-Induced Physiological Decline in Shade-Acclimated Tree Tomato Plants by Enhancing Osmoprotectant Accumulation, Photosynthetic Performance, and Shoot Growth
The tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Cav.) is susceptible to waterlogging stress, which under natural conditions often coincides with low radiation. Brassinosteroids (BRs) have emerged as a tool to mitigate waterlogging stress. This research evaluated the effect of exogenous BRs on growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluo...
