Functional Characterization of Arylalkylamine N-Acetyltransferase, a Pivotal Gene in Antioxidant Melatonin Biosynthesis from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) is a pivotal enzyme in melatonin biosynthesis that catalyzes the conversion of serotonin to N-acetylserotonin. Homologs of animal AANAT genes are present in animals, but not in plants. An AANAT homolog was found

Genetic evidence that brassinosteroids suppress pistils in the maize tassel independent of the jasmonic acid pathway

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2023
The developmental genetics of reproductive structure control in maize must consider both the staminate florets of the tassel and the pistillate florets of the ear synflorescences.

Role of Brassinosteroids in plant growth promotion and stress tolerance during priming mediated by beneficial bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Brassinosteroids (BR) are plant hormones widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom in low concentrations and with structural homology to animal and insect steroids.

Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping Analysis for Cold Tolerance Under Cold Stress and Brassinosteroid-Combined Cold Treatment at Germination and Bud Burst Stages in Rice

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Low temperature is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting seed germination and early seedling growth in rice. Brassinosteroid (BR) application can improve cold tolerance in rice.

Plant Chromosomes: Brassinosteroids in the spotlight [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Recent studies on dwarf mutants of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have provided convincing evidence that brassinosteroids –  natural plant products similar to animal steroid hormones –  are essential for normal plant growth and ...

Exogenous Applications of Brassinosteroids Improve Color of Red Table Grape (Vitis vinifera L. Cv. “Redglobe”) Berries

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Color and other quality parameters of “Redglobe” grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries were evaluated after treatment with brassinosteroid (BR) analogs. Three BRs analogs (24-epibrassinolide, Triol, or Lactone) were applied at three concentrations (0.0, 0.4,

Brassinosteroids tailor stomatal production to different environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Two recent reports show that brassinosteroids control stomata production by regulating the GSK3-like kinase BIN2-mediated phosphorylation of two different stomatal signalling components resulting in opposite stomata! phenotypes.

Effect of Chitosan-24-Epibrassinolide Composite Coating on the Quality Attributes of Late-Harvested Pomegranate Fruit under Simulated Commercial Storage Conditions

open access: yesPlants, 2022
This study evaluated the efficacy of chitosan (CH) functionalized with 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) coating in terms of preserving the postharvest quality of late-harvested pomegranate (cv. Wonderful) fruit. Late-harvested pomegranate fruit were immersed for
