Glyphosate: Is Brassinosteroids Application a Remedy?

Brassinosteroids Signalling

Abstract

Pesticides are mainly used to protect crop plants from pests and pest transmitted diseases. However, the active ingredients of the pesticides are also a source of crop toxicity and food contamination. The persistent nature of the chemicals makes them stable against environmental degradation process, and they continue to be in the form of pesticide residues in different plant tissues. In plants, glyphosate has been the best commonly used herbicide. It has a proven record of disturbing plant physiological processes and cell metabolism. Plant biological practices such as photosynthesis, carbon use, mineral diet, and oxidative trials have been exaggerated, and plant–microbe interactions have been interrupted by the pesticide. Despite the less studied detail of aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), it was displayed to influence chlorophyll biosynthesis and to cause decline of plant development. In addition, brassinosteroids (BRs) are well-known for their defensive function in plants in numerous abiotic stresses, such as low temperatures, salt, heavy metals, drought, and pesticides. By triggering the antioxidant defense mechanism, BRs improve pesticide harmfulness in whole plants. In addition, BRs also increase pesticide degradation, which contributes to a decrease in residual pesticides in plant portions. Therefore, the current study offers to reveal the function of BRs in the management of glyphosate, and current research illuminates the detoxification of BR-regulated glyphosate in plants.
