Chapter
Brassinosteroids: The Promising Plant Growth Regulators in Horticulture
Brassinosteroids (BS), a class of polyhydroxylated steroidal plant hormones were collectively named as ‘Brassins’ after their initial discovery from the pollen grains of Brassica napus. They occur in whole plant ...

Chapter
Brassinosteroids in Cereals – Presence, Physiological Activity and Practical Aspects
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroid hormones that are characterised by a sterane skeleton of four rings with a number of functional groups attached (mainly hydroxyl). The first species from the Poaceae famil...

Chapter
Anticancer Potential of Brassinosteroids
In recent years, it was shown that brassinosteroids (BS) exert their effects not only on plants but also on animals and man. Eventually, some of these effects allowed considering BS as potential anticarcinogen...

Chapter
Brassinosteroid Mediated Regulation of Photosynthesis in Plants
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are sterol derivatives with multiple hydroxyl groups occurring universally in plants. Photosynthesis is the process which acts as base for the growth of the plant. BRs promote the activa...
