Application

Epibrassinolide has been used:
  • in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium to study the cotyledon and shoot length response of Cappelle-Desprez (rht8) and RIL6 (Rht8) plants towards it
  • in callus-inducing medium for callus induction
  • to induce the expression of the gene leaf inclination 2 (LC2) in rice sampling

A novel dwarf cucumber mutant, scp-2, displays a typical BR biosynthesis-deficient phenotype, which is due to a mutation in CsDET2 for a steroid 5-alpha-reductase. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant hormones that play important roles in the development of

Plant hormones play a vital role in plant immune responses. However, in contrast to the relative wealth of information on hormone-mediated immunity in dicot plants, little information is available on monocot-virus defense systems. We used a high-throughput-sequencing approach to compare
