Resilience by salicylic on plant growth – a mini review

Salicylic Acid (SA) is a phenolic compound and nomenclature of it being called as SA is because it was first isolated from the bark of willow plant bearing the taxonomic name, Salix alba. SA has been extensively studied for their physiological roles on growth and metabolism of plants, stress-protective properties against numerous abiotic stresses like heat, chilling, freezing, drought, flooding, oxidative, salt, radiation, heavy metals stresses and biotic stresses. The present review is to understand the role of SA as a potential plant growth regulator (PGR).
