Abstract:Brassinosteroids (BRs) are important regulators that control myriad aspects of plant growth and development including biotic and abiotic stress responses, such that modulating BR homeostasis and signaling presents enormous opportunities for plant breeding and crop improvement. Enzymes and proteins involved in the biosynthesis and signaling of BRs are well understood from molecular genetics and phenotypic analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana; however, knowledge of molecular function of these genes in other plant sp… Show more
