Progesterone and brassinosteroids synergistically enhance progesterone removal and antioxidant capacity of Solanum nigrum L.

Progesterone in the environment harms humans and wildlife. This study shows L. plants can effectively remove progesterone with the help of 24-EBL, reducing oxidative damage and enhancing antioxidant system activity.
