The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily is the largest enzymatic protein family in plants,
and it also widely exists in mammals, fungi, bacteria, insects and so on. Members of this …

In plants, the steroidal hormone brassinosteroid (BR) regulates numerous developmental
processes, including photomorphogenesis. Genetic, proteomic, and genomic studies in …

There are 244 cytochrome P450 genes (and 28 pseudogenes) in the Arabidopsis genome.
P450s thus form one of the largest gene families in plants. Contrary to what was initially …

Diosgenin is a spiroketal steroidal natural product extracted from plants and used as the
single most important precursor for the world steroid hormone industry. The sporadic …

We have characterized a rice (Oryza sativa) dwarf mutant, dwarf11 (d11), that bears seeds of
reduced length. To understand the mechanism by which seed length is regulated, the D11 …

Plant sterols and steroid hormones, the brassinosteroids (BRs), are compounds that exert a
wide range of biological activities. They are essential for plant growth, reproduction, and …

Cytokinins (CKs), a group of phytohormones, are adenine derivatives that carry either an
isoprene-derived or an aromatic side chain at the N 6 terminus. trans-Zeatin (tZ), an …

Plant cytochromes P450 (P450s) catalyze a wide variety of monooxygenation/hydroxylation
reactions in primary and secondary metabolism. The number of P450 genes in plant …

Brassinosteroid (BR) hormones are indispensable for root growth and control both cell
division and cell elongation through the establishment of an increasing signalling gradient …

Data mining methods have been used to identify 356 Cyt P450 genes and 99 related
pseudogenes in the rice (Oryza sativa) genome using sequence information available from …
