Interactions of brassinosteroids and ethylene during various abiotic stresses.

Type of Stress	Species	Applied Regulator	Hormonal Interactions	Physiological Effect	References
salt drought cold	Cucumis sativus	BL	BL enhanced ET biosynthesis	BRs induced ET and ROS generation, which subsequently enhanced AOX capacity leading to increase of stress tolerance	Wei et al., 2015 [27]
salt	Cucumis sativus	EBR	EBR ameliorated the inhibitory effect of salt on ethylene production	EBR affects seed germination under saline stress conditions by regulating ethylene production via recovery of NaCl-induced suppression of ACO activity	Wang et al., 2011 [30]
salt	Solanum lycopersicum	BL	BRs affect ethylene biosynthesis and signaling by increasing ACS and stabilizing EILs respectively	BRs induce generation of ET and H2O2 and increased levels of ET and H2O2 lead to salt stress tolerance	Zhu et al., 2016 [31]
oxidative	Solanum lycopersicum	EBL 1-MCP	BRs and ET signaling pathways act antagonistically during regulation of AA content in leaves	BRs promote AA accumulation in tomato leaves, whereas ET suppresses it.	Mazorra et al., 2014 [33]
salt	Lactuca sativa	DI-31	DI-31 caused a decrease in ethylene synthesis	Pretreatment with DI-31 decrease the negative effect of salinity on the fresh weight and prevent the reduction in weight of lettuce plants	Serna et al., 2015 [34]
