Brassinosteroids Plant counterparts to animal steroid hormones?

Clouse, Steven D·2002·Vitamins & Hormones

Abstract

Brassinosteroids are polyhydroxylated derivatives of common plant membrane sterols such as campesterol. They occur throughout the plant kingdom and have been shown by genetic and biochemical analyses to be essential for normal plant growth and development. Numerous reviews have detailed the recent progress in our understanding of the biosynthesis, physiological responses, and molecular modes of action of brassinosteroids. It is clear that like their animal steroid counterparts, brassinosteroids have a defined receptor, can regulate the expression of specific genes, and can orchestrate complex physiological responses involved in growth. This review summarizes the current status of BR research, pointing out where appropriate the similarities and differences between the mechanism of action of brassinosteroids and the more thoroughly studied animal steroid hormones.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
