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...

In this study, the role of exogenously applied plant growth regulator, gibberellic acid (GA<sub>3</sub>) was examined in soil grown two carrot cultivars under four different levels of lead (0, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg) with one level of gibberellic acid (50 ppm).
