Metabolism of brassinosteroids in plants.
نویسنده
چکیده
Brassinosteroids represent a class of plant hormones. More than 70 compounds have been isolated from plants. Currently 42 brassinosteroid metabolites and their conjugates are known. This review describes the miscellaneous metabolic pathways of brassinosteroids in plants. There are some types of metabolic processes involving brassinosteroids in plants: dehydrogenation, demethylation, epimerization, esterification, glycosylation, hydroxylation, side-chain cleavage and sulfonation. Metabolism of brassinosteroids can be divided into two categories: i) structural changes to the steroidal skeleton; and ii) structural changes to the side-chain.

Brassinosteroids play a critical role in the regulation of pesticide metabolism in crop plants
Pesticide residues in agricultural produce pose a threat to human health worldwide. Although the detoxification mechanisms for xenobiotics have been extensively studied in mammalian cells, information about the regulation network in plants remains elusive. Here we show that brassinosteroids (BRs), a class of natural plant hormones, decreased residues of common organophosphorus, organochlorine a...
متن کاملThe chemical characteristic and distribution of brassinosteroids in plants.
Brassinosteroids represent a class of plant hormones with high-growth promoting activity. They are found at low levels in pollen, anthers, seeds, leaves, stems, roots, flowers, grain, and young vegetative tissues throughout the plant kingdom. Brassinosteroids are a family of about 60 phytosteroids. The article gives a comprehensive survey on the hitherto known brassinosteroids isolated from pla...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroids essential for normal growth and development and can be defined as steroids that carry an oxygen moiety at C-3 and additional ones at one or more of the C-2, C-6, C-22 and C-23 carbon atoms. BR biosynthesis and metabolism mutants have been obtained and the corresponding genes cloned. These include genes encoding 5alpha-reductase and cytochrome P450 enzym...
متن کاملBrassinosteroids – A new class of phytohormones
Brassinosteroids are a new group of plant hormones with significant growth-promoting activity. Brassinosteroids were first isolated and characterized from the pollen of rape plant, Brassica napus L. Subsequently, they have so far been reported from 44 plants and are regarded probably ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. Brassinosteroids are considered as hormones with pleiotropic effects, as they i...
متن کاملInteraction of Brassinosteroids and Polyamines Enhances Copper Stress Tolerance in Raphanus Sativus
Brassinosteroids (BRs) and polyamines (PAs) regulate various responses to abiotic stress, but their involvement in the regulation of copper (Cu) homeostasis in plants exposed to toxic levels of Cu is poorly understood. This study provides an analysis of the effects of exogenously applied BRs and PAs on radish (Raphanus sativus) plants exposed to toxic concentrations of Cu. The interaction of 24...
