Alleviating Role of Gibberellic Acid in Enhancing Plant Growth and Stimulating Phenolic Compounds in Carrot (<i>Daucus carota</i> L.) under Lead Stress

Toxicity of heavy-metals in soil is a major constraint for the production of carrots (<i>Daucus carota</i> L.). Different plant growth regulators are being used to overcome this problem. It has been found that plant growth regulators induce stress tolerance in plants. In this study, the...
