Abstract
The effect of foliar spray with 10-12 M aqueous solutions of 24-epibrassinolide or a synthetic androstane analogue of castasterone on the activity of photosystem (PS) 1, the Hill reaction activity, the content of photosynthetic pigments and the specific leaf mass was examined for three different leaves developed after brassinosteroid (BR) treatment in two inbred lines of field-grown maize and their F1 hybrid. The brassinosteroids significantly affected neither the efficiency of photosynthetic electron transport, nor the content of chlorophylls or carotenoids.
