Key message Brassinosteroids have important roles in plant development. This review
focuses on the agronomic traits regulated by brassinosteroids in rice. Abstract …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of steroid hormones, essentially important for plant
development and growth. BR signaling functions to promote cell expansion and cell division …

Rice is sensitive to cold and can be grown only in certain climate zones. Human selection of
japonica rice has extended its growth zone to regions with lower temperature, while the …

Summary UV-B light (UV-B radiation) is known to inhibit plant growth, but the mechanism is
not well understood. UVR8 (UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8) is a UV-B light photoreceptor that …

UV-B light is a potential stress factor in plants, but how plants coordinate growth and UV-B
stress responses is not well understood. Here, we report that brassinosteroid (BR) signaling …

In plants, transgenerational inheritance of some epialleles has been demonstrated but it
remains controversial whether epigenetic variation is subject to selection and contributes to …

BZR1 and BES1 are key transcription factors of brassinosteroid (BR) signaling and
represent the integration node of numerous signaling cascades. Their direct target genes …

Plant growth and development are plastic and canadapt to environmental changes. In this
process different plant hormones coordinate to modulate plant growth and environmental …

In plants, auxin signalling is initiated by the auxin-promoted interaction between the auxin
receptor TIR1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the Aux/IAA transcriptional repressors, which are …

Ovule initiation is a key step that strongly influences ovule number and seed yield. Notably,
mutants with enhanced brassinosteroid (BR) and cytokinin (CK) signaling produce more …
