General description
Brassinolide is a plant growth hormone and the most biologically active brassinosteroid (BR). It has been implicated in Auxin signaling. It has also been used for studying plant biosynthetic pathways.[1][2] Brassinolide might also regulate water-transport properties of cell membranes in Arabidopsis thaliana.[3]
Application
Brassinolide has been used as a plant growth hormone.[1]
Packaging
