Bülbül 89) by infusing of 3 µM 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) to the seeds presowing for 24 hours was investigated. EBR pretreatment was found to be successful in ameliorating of the inhibitory effects of salt stress on final germination percentage, radicle elongation and fresh weight, while it observed to be unsuccessful on final coleoptile percentage and elongation. Besides, EBR pretreatment was mostly determined to have a succesful performance in ameliorating of the inhibitory effects of 0.30 and particularly 0.35 m salinity on leaf anatomy of barley seedlings.  <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
