Brassinosteroid control of shoot gravitropism interacts with ethylene and depends on auxin signaling components [PDF]
, 2013 Premise of the study: To reach favorable conditions for photosynthesis, seedlings grow upward when deprived of light upon underground germination. To direct their growth, they use their negative gravitropic capacity.

Brassinosteroids and sucrose transport in mycorrhizal tomato plants
Plant Signalling & Behavior, 2020 Silencing of SlSUT2 expression in tomato plants leads to a dwarfed phenotype, reduced pollen vitality and reduces pollen germination rate. Male sterility of flowers, together with a dwarfed growth behavior is reminiscent to brassinosteroid defective ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The timing of flowering is a critical agronomic trait governed by an extensive and sophisticated regulatory network. To date, limited understanding of how posttranslational modifications regulate flowering time exists. Here, using Arabidopsis, we resolve a role for the B4 Raf‐like MAPKKK protein kinase RAF24 in regulating flowering time.

Presence versus absence of CYP734A50 underlies the style-length dimorphism in primroses
eLife, 2016 Heterostyly is a wide-spread floral adaptation to promote outbreeding, yet its genetic basis and evolutionary origin remain poorly understood. In Primula (primroses), heterostyly is controlled by the S-locus supergene that determines the reciprocal ...

From lab to field : yield stability and shade avoidance genes are massively differentially expressed in the field [PDF]
, 2020 To unravel molecular mechanisms with the ultimate goal to achieve improved stress resilience or increased yield, plants are often studied under highly controlled conditions in which stresses are applied and in which growth‐ or architecture‐related traits

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Cauline leaf development represents an intermediate phase between vegetative and reproductive stages. While extensive research has been conducted on the genetic and environmental factors that determine cauline leaf number, less attention has been given to the regulation of their morphology and the establishment of cauline leaf identity. In this

A selective pretreatment method for determination of endogenous active brassinosteroids in plant tissues: double layered solid phase extraction combined with boronate affinity polymer monolith microextraction [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Brassinosteriods (BRs), a group of important phytohormones, have various effects on plant growth and development. However, their physiological functions in plants have not been fully understood to date.

Receptor‐like kinases BIR1 and BIR3 modulate antiviral resistance by different mechanisms
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1‐ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (BAK1)‐INTERACTING RECEPTOR‐LIKE KINASE (BIR) proteins are negative regulators of cell death and defense against microbes in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we demonstrate that the members of the BIR family function as negative regulators of antiviral resistance in Arabidopsis.

The Role of Gibberellins and Brassinosteroids in Nodulation and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Associations
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Plant hormones play key roles in nodulation and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations. These two agriculturally and ecologically important symbioses enable plants to gain access to nutrients, in particular, nitrogen in the case of nodulation and ...
