Effects of Brassinosteroid on Cell Division and Colony Formation of Chinese Cabbage Mesophyll Protoplasts.

Effect of 24-epibrassinolide on biomass, growth and free proline concentration in Spirulina platensis (Cyanophyta) under NaCl stress

“…Increased growth and protein concentrations following the application of BRs have been reported in case the mung bean epicotyls (Wu and Zhao 1993) and groundnut (Vardhini and Rao 1998). Similarly, growth promotion in Chinese cabbage mesophyll protoplasts by 24-epiBL was associated with increased amounts of soluble proteins (Nakajima et al 1996). In this study, 24-epiBL increased soluble protein concentration of S. platensis (data not shown).…”

Effects of Brassinolide on Mesocotyl, Coleoptile and Leaf Growth in Rice Seedlings

“…The growth acceleration of bean internodes by the treatment with brassins has been attributed to the stimulation of cell elongation and cell division (Khripach et al, 1999). A recent work with protoplasts from Chinese cabbage showed that 24-epibrassinolide induced the promotion of cell division, and the formation of clusters and colonies in the presence of 2,4-D and kinetin (Nakajima et al, 1996).…”

Microspore embryogenesis in Apiaceae

“…They have also been shown to protect plants from abiotic and biotic stresses. Brassinosteroids have been used to promote somatic embryogenesis (Pullman et al 2003) and cell division (Nakajima et al 1996), and to increase microspore embryogenesis in several Brassica species (Ferrie et al 2005). The addition of 0.1 or 1.0 mM EBR to NLN-25 resulted in a decrease in embryogenesis of fennel line VF2, as compared to the NLN-25 control media (Fig.…”
