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.

Studies on Biosynthesis of Brassinosteroids

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1997
Biosynthesis of steroidal plant hormones, brassinosteroids, was studied using the cell culture system of Catharanthus roseus. Feeding labeled compounds of possible intermediates to the cultured cells, followed by analyzing the metabolites by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry disclosed the pathways from a plant sterol, campesterol, to brassinolide ...

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.

Brassinosteroids in plant developmental biology and stress tolerance

open access: yes, 2022
Modern crop production uses a large suite of agricultural agents that increases plant productivity both under optimal growth and stress conditions. Most of these agents are of artificial origin; many of them are toxic and are pollutants of agricultural ...

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 stomatal phenotypes.

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,
