Abstract:Brassinosteroid (BR) and auxin co-regulate plant growth in a process termed cross-talking. Based on the assumption that their signal transductions are partially shared, inhibitory chemicals for both signal transductions were screened from a commercially available library. A chemical designated as NJ15 (ethyl 2-[5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrazole-2-yl]acetate) diminished the growth promotion of both adzuki bean epicotyls and Arabidopsis seedlings, by the application of either BR or auxin. To understand it… Show more
“…In our previous report [3], we showed that the brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor brassinazole (Brz) decreased the hypocotyl length but not the gravitropic response of etiolated seedlings. Conversely, treatment with the auxin transport inhibitor NPA inhibited only the gravitropic response of etiolated seedlings, but not their hypocotyl length.…”

“…To elucidate the common downstream pathways of auxin and brassinosteroid signaling, we attempted to find novel chemicals that inhibit both auxin and brassinosteroid signaling simultaneously [3]. We finally obtained a compound, named NJ15, which showed inhibitory effects on the two hormones in Arabidopsis.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
