Abstract

The aim of the present study was to observe the interactive effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) and imidacloprid (IMI) pesticide on various antioxidants, viz., ascorbic acid, tocopherol, glutathione, polyphenols and total phenols, in the leaves of Brassica juncea L. plants. For this study, seeds were soaked with 24-EBL and grown in soil containing IMI pesticide. Polyphenols were quantified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography, whereas other antioxidants were estimated spectrophotometrically. Multiple linear regression analysis of data revealed that contents of all these antioxidants were significantly increased due to interaction of 24-EBL and IMI.
