Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is used as an aromatic and medicinal vegetable. Plant growth regulators improve plant performance under unfavorable conditions. In this study, the interaction effects of 24-epibrassinolide (0, 0.5 and 1 µM) and three levels of drought stress (-2, -3.5 and -4.5 bars) were investigated on growth parameters and coriander leaves essential oil. The highest main stem length, diameter, shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight were obtained by 0.5 µM of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) under -3.5 bar. Both 0.5 and 1 µM concentrations of 24-epibrassinolide protected leaves of chlorophyll a and b against the effects of water deficit. The plants under -3.5 and -4.5 bar water deficits showed more leaf electrolyte leakage compared to the control (-2 bar). The highest percentage of all six measured essential oil components (linalool, (e)-2-decenal, 2-hexa-decenal, carvone, α-pinene and (E)-2-dodecenal) were obtained under moderate and severe levels of regulated water deficit. Foliar spray of EBR 0.5µM under severe drought stress with -4.5 bar of matric potential increased the main essential oil compositions such as linalool, (E)-2-decenal and (E)-2-hexa-decenal.
