Impact Brassinolide on Two Fig Varieties

, 2021
Brassinolide (BL) is a plant hormone showing wide occurrence in the plant kingdom with unique biological effects on growth and physiological traits. The fig varieties, Improved Brown Turkey (IBT) and Masui Dauphine (MD), are commonly found in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Brassinolide and its analogs. Part III. Synthesis of brassinolide analogs and their plant growth-promoting activity.

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1983
Brassinolide analogs such as (22S, 23S)-28-norbrassinolide 8b, a lactam (6-aza-7-keto analog) 12b, a thiolactam (6-aza-7-thiono analog) 14b and an isomer (6-oxa-7-keto isomer) 15b of (22S, 23S)-homobrassinolide were synthesized. Only two of them (8b and 15b) were bioactive.

Dissecting the Cell‐Type‐Specific Response to an Emerging Tobamovirus in Tomato Reveals Cultivar‐Dependent Involvement of Brassinosteroid Signalling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3106-3124, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses drive widespread crop epidemics, yet the host plant responses across different cell types, particularly how these responses are influenced by cultivars with varying genetic backgrounds, including the presence of resistance (R) genes, remain poorly understood. Using tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and two tomato cultivars,

Biological Activities of Biosynthetically-related Congeners of Brassinolide

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1995
Biological activity of intermediate steroids in the biosynthesis of brassinolide was examined by the rice-lamina inclination test and wheat-leaf unrolling test. In both bioassays, biological activity of intermediates increased according to the order in the biosynthetic pathway.

A Single‐Base Mutation in TaWAK3‐B Reduces Plant Height via Cytoskeleton in Bread Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3261-3278, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction of Reduced height (Rht) genes into modern wheat cultivars has resulted in ‘Green Revolution’ that skyrocketed wheat grain yields worldwide since the 1960s. These ‘Green Revolution’ cultivars show shorter plant height, but higher lodging resistance and harvest index.

Brassinolide and its analogs. Part IV. Synthesis of brassinolide analogs with or without the steroidal side chain.

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1983
Four brassinolide analogs were synthesized starting from cholesterol, stigmasterol or pregnenolone. An analog possessing a hydroxyl group at C-17 instead of the steroidal side chain was only 0.001% as active as brassinolide upon lamina-inclination testing with rice seedlings, while other analogs were 1~2% as active as brassinolide.

Brassinosteroid responses in motion: dynamics of brassinosteroid hormone and receptors shape signaling and tissue establishment

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 4, May 2026.
SUMMARY Bioactive molecules such as hormones play crucial roles throughout the life cycle of organisms. Due to their profound effects, these molecules are tightly regulated at multiple levels, including biosynthesis, storage, transport, modification, and signaling.

Discovery of a nonsteroidal brassinolide-like compound, NSBR1

Journal of Pesticide Science, 2017
Fourteen compounds screened from 5 million compounds in silico were submitted to bioassay to find brassinolide (BL) agonists/antagonists against Arabidopsis thaliana. Of these, two N-benzoyl-N'-phenylpiperazine (NBNPP)-type compounds showed antagonistic activity; however, none showed agonistic activity against A. thaliana.

A tissue‐resolved, network‐based transcriptomic framework for abiotic stress responses in sorghum

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
SUMMARY Developing climate‐resilient crops requires a detailed understanding of stress‐induced gene expression dynamics, as maladaptive responses can compromise their productivity and survival. Sorghum, a globally important cereal with exceptional tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses, provides a powerful system for investigating these dynamics ...

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.
