Signal Transduction of Brassinosteroids Under Abiotic Stresses

Foliar transcriptomes reveal candidate genes for late blight resistance in cultivars of diploid potato Solanum tuberosum L. Andigenum Group

“…It was observed in 'Wira Pasña' that an enzyme related to MAPK (a brassinosteroid associated with kinase receptors) was overexpressed at the beginning of the infection. Brassinosteroids are considered one of the most important steroid hormones with many roles in plants, e.g., adaptation of plants to different stress factors and successful stress tolerance (Khan et al, 2022). In the early stages of infection by P. infestans, DEGs mainly encode defense enzymes to increase their expression, thus triggering a phosphorylation cascade through protein kinase (MAPK) that directly suppresses the pathogen as the first line of defense (Yang et al, 2018).…”

Exogenous brassinolide improves the antioxidant capacity of Pinellia ternata by enhancing the enzymatic and nonenzymatic defense systems under non-stress conditions

“…Brassinolide (BR) is a phytohormone that is essential for plant growth and development (Kaya et al, 2019). It was found that exogenous application of BR improved plants' tolerance to abiotic stress (Khan et al, 2022). Environmental changes and anthropogenic activities have caused many abiotic stresses to plants, such as water Guo et al 10.3389/fpls.2022.917301 stress, temperature stress, salinity stress, heavy metals stress, UVB and UVA radiation stress, organic pollutants stress, etc., which greatly affect plant growth and development, ultimately leading to reduced plants yields and quality and limiting the sustainability of agriculture (Hasanuzzaman et al, 2020).…”
