Genetic evidence for an essential role of brassinosteroids in plant development
Open accessAbstract
Summary: Brassinosteroids which show high structural similarity to animal steroid hormones elicit a variety of growth responses when exogeneously applied to plant tissues. Thus far however, the function of endogeneous brassinosteroids in higher plants has been unclear. This paper describes three extremely dwarfed Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, cbb1 (dwf1‐6), cbb2 and cbb3, which are impared in cell elongation controlled by brassinosteroids. While cbb1 (dwf1‐6) and cbb3 can be phenotypically normalized to wild‐type by feeding with brassinosteroids indicating deficiencies of brassinosteroid biosynthesis, cbb2 is brassinosteroid‐insensitive and defines a function required for further metabolic conversion necessary for biological activity or for perception/signal transduction of these growth‐regulating plant steroid hormones. Expression of the meri5 and TCH4 genes is low in all three cbb mutants and can be restored to wild‐type levels by brassinosteroid treatment in the cbb1 (dwf1‐6) and cbb3 mutants but are unaffected in the cbb2 mutant. These data indicate that brassinosteroids are essential for proper plant development and play an important role in the control of cell elongation.

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.
