Description
Zhuolu Zhang and co-authors tested whether spraying a plant hormone helps tea plants withstand salty soil in a 2024 study. Salt stress cuts crop quality and yield worldwide. Brassinosteroids, a family of plant steroid hormones, are known to help plants cope with stress, but their action in tea was unproven.
Two tea varieties were sprayed and then grown under salt stress. The team measured damage markers and protective chemistry, including membrane harm products, soluble sugars, and soluble proteins. The hormone eased several stress signs, with strength varying by variety. Tea regions face growing soil salinity from irrigation and climate shifts, so a spray that buys tolerance has direct value for growers.
