Influence of pre-harvest application of gibberellin and brassinosteroid on fruit growth and quality characteristics of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia (Burm.) Nakai) cv. Gola [PDF]

, 2016
Quality of fruit crop is an important parameter to decide the acceptability of the product. The present study consists of seventeen year old pear (Pyrus pyrifolia (Burm.) Nakai) trees subjected to seven treatments viz., GA3 (50 ppm,100 ppm), BR (0.5 ppm,

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.

EcoFoldDB: Protein Structure‐Guided Functional Profiling of Ecologically Relevant Microbial Traits at the Metagenome Scale

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2025.
EcoFoldDB provides a curated database of protein structures for ecologically important microbial traits. Its companion annotation pipeline (EcoFoldDB‐annotate) employs rapid structural homology searches (via Foldseek + ProstT5) to sensitively profile large (meta)genomic datasets, overcoming limitations of sequence homology‐based methods.

Growth performance and resistance to ground late frosts of Fagus sylvatica L. plantation treated with a brassinosteroid compound

Journal of Forest Science, 2017
We measured the initial growth performance of a young plantation of European beech treated with a brassinosteroid compound prior to planting and compared it with a control treatment: we assessed heights, root collar diameters and mortality rate during ...

Reactive oxygen species act as signaling molecules to control root hair initiation and tip growth

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 2042-2048, September 2025.
Summary Root hairs (RHs) increase the surface area of roots, facilitating nutrient and water uptake and plant anchorage. RHs form from root epidermal cells and elongate by polar tip growth. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have recently been implicated as important signals that drive RH formation and elongation using both genetic and imaging approaches ...

Physiological role of brassinolide in the light development of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling

RUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries, 2011
The regulatory role of more active brassinosteroids - brassinolide in seedling development in darkness was studied. The growth parameters and photosynthetic pigment content of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings under differ light conditions were investigated.

Brassinolide Promotes the Growth of Zanthixylum schinifolium by Improving Photosynthetic Efficiency and Antioxidant Capacity

Agronomy
As a plant growth regulator, brassinolide (BL) is essential for enhancing plant growth and development. Studies on how BL affects the growth and development of prickly ash (Zanthixylum schinifolium) are scarce, nevertheless.

Molecular locks and keys: the role of small molecules in phytohormone research [PDF]

, 2017
Plant adaptation, growth and development rely on the integration of many environmental and endogenous signals that collectively determine the overall plant phenotypic plasticity.

Progestogens and androgens influence root morphology of angiosperms in a brassinosteroid‐independent manner

The Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 5, September 2025.
Significance Statement Plants produce progesterone and androgens, which alter root morphology in A. thaliana and 60% of tested angiosperms. Brassinosteroids seem uninvolved. Understanding the mechanism is like navigating an unknown city—exemplarily Dittelbrunn (a small village in Bavaria)—where the expected shortcut (interaction with brassinosteroids ...
