The entire range of the developmental processes in plants is regulated by the shift in the hormonal concentration, tissue sensitivity and their interaction with the factors operating around the plants. Out of the recognized hormones, attention has largely been focused on five (Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinin, Abscisic acid and Ethylene). However, in this book, the information about the most recent group of phytohormones (Brassinosteroids) has been compiled by us. It is a class of over 40 polyhydroxylated sterol derivatives, ubiquitously distributed throughout the plant kingdom. A large portion of these steroids is restricted to the reproductive organs (pollens and immature seeds). ... Read more

Reviews for Brassinosteroids
From the reviews: "It deals with the chemistry, with perception and signal transduction, with physiological effects and with use in agriculture. … as this book summarizes a large part of the vast amount of knowledge on brassinosteroids, it is highly relevant for researchers interested in this new plant growth regulator." (Geert-Jan de Klerk, Plant Cell, ... Read more
