Physiological and Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Mechanism by Which Exogenous 24-Epibrassinolide Application Enhances Drought Resistance in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Antioxidants, 2022
Drought stress is a key factor limiting the growth and tuber yield of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.). Brassinosteroids (BRs) have been shown to alleviate drought stress in several plant species; however, little is known about the physiological and ...

Exogenous brassinosteroids promotes root growth, enhances stress tolerance, and increases yield in maize

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022
Brassinosteroids (BRs) regulate of maize (Zea mays L.) growth, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we used a multi-disciplinary approach to determine how BRs regulate maize morphology and physiology during development ...

24-Epibrassinolide Simultaneously Stimulates Photosynthetic Machinery and Biomass Accumulation in Tomato Plants under Lead Stress: Essential Contributions Connected to the Antioxidant System and Anatomical Structures

Agronomy, 2022
Several toxic pollutants are released into the atmosphere through human activities. Among these pollutants, lead (Pb) is a non-biodegradable element that can cause reduced cell division, impact negatively on the biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments ...

Molecular Dynamics of Chloroplast Membranes Isolated from Wild-Type Barley and a Brassinosteroid-Deficient Mutant Acclimated to Low and High Temperatures

Biomolecules, 2020
Plants have developed various acclimation strategies in order to counteract the negative effects of abiotic stresses (including temperature stress), and biological membranes are important elements in these strategies.

RNA interference knockdown of BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1 in maize reveals novel functions for brassinosteroid signaling in controlling plant architecture [PDF]

, 2015
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones involved in various growth and developmental processes. The BR signaling system is well established in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa) but poorly understood in maize (Zea mays ...

Plant Triterpenoid Crosstalk: The Interaction of Brassinosteroids and Phytoecdysteroids in Lepidium sativum

Plants, 2020
Plant steroid alcohols, plant sterols, are essential components of cell membranes that perform many functions. Their most prominent function is maintaining membrane semipermeability and regulating its fluidity through their specific interaction with ...

Photosynthesis Mediated by RBOH-Dependent Signaling Is Essential for Cold Stress Memory

Antioxidants, 2022
Cold tolerance is improved by cold stress acclimation (CS-ACC), and the cold tolerance level is ‘remembered’ by plants. However, the underlying signaling mechanisms remain largely unknown.

Nuclear protein phosphatases with Kelch-repeat domains modulate the response to brassinosteroids in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2004
Perception of the plant steroid hormone brassinolide (BL) by the membrane-associated receptor kinase BRI1 triggers the dephosphorylation and accumulation in the nucleus of the transcriptional modulators BES1 and BZR1.

Brassinosteroid overproduction improves lignocellulose quantity and quality to maximize bioethanol yield under green-like biomass process in transgenic poplar

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background As a leading biomass feedstock, poplar plants provide enormous lignocellulose resource convertible for biofuels and bio-chemicals. However, lignocellulose recalcitrance particularly in wood plants, basically causes a costly bioethanol ...

Influence of 24-Epibrassinolide on Physiological Characteristics of Tomato Seedlings Infested with Root-knot Nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) Chitwood, 1949 (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae)

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022
The aim of this research is to determine the physiological responses of tomato seedlings treated with 24-epibrassinolide (EBL), given via different methods such as immersion, irrigation, and foliar spray, followed by inoculation of root-knot nematode ...
