Abstract

The present study mainly focused on evaluate the effect of cadmium (Cd) and combine with Homobrassinolide (Homo BL) and salicylic acid (SA) on the growth and development of Catharanthus pusillus plants. The cadmium suppressed the growth and development of Catharanthus pusillus seedlings. The exogenous plant growth regulators like Homobrassinolide (Homo BL) and salicylic acid (SA) are considered as the VI th and VII th group. However seed treatment with homo BL and SA mitigated the adverse effect of Cd and stimulated the growth of Catharanthus pusillus seedlings. From the results it can be concluded that homo BL and SA could play a positive role in the germination of seedlings and alleviate the Cd stress. This is a preliminary study which has the potential for further enhancing the understanding of cadmium (Cd) and combine with Homobrassinolide (Homo BL) and salicylic acid (SA) on the growth and development of Catharanthus pusillus plants.
