The transition metal elements like copper act as double-edged sword for living cells. Cu, a redox active metal, is essential for various biological processes, but at higher concentrations it leads to toxicity by inducing production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, the objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of exogenously applied castasterone on oxidative stress markers and redox homeostasis managers in Brassica juncea plants subject to copper stress for 30 days. Copper-exposed plants showed accumulation of free radicals (H2O2 and superoxide anion) and lipid peroxidation. However, the exogenous treatment of seeds via the seed soaking method with different concentrations of castasterone reduced H2O2 production, superoxide anion radical content, and lipid peroxidation, thus indicating improved detoxification of ROS. Enzyme activity was increased by 19.19% for guaiacol peroxidase, 16.20% for superoxide dismutase, 35.74% for glutathione peroxidase, 27.58% for dehydroascorbate reductase, and 42.75% for ascorbate peroxidase, with castasterone pre-soaking under copper stress. The levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants were also increased with castasterone pre-treatment under copper stress. It may be concluded that castasterone treatment enhanced redox homeostasis managers in addition to increased levels of osmoprotectants.
