The brassinosteroid signal transduction pathway - PMC Since then, extensive molecular genetic and biochemical studies of BR signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana have illustrated a BR signal transduction pathway from ligand perception on the cell surface to gene expression in the nucleus This review focuses on recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of BR perception, receptor kinase
The Mechanisms of Brassinosteroids Action: From Signal Transduction to . . . Plants deficient in brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis or defective in signal transduction show many abnormal developmental phenotypes, indicating the importance of both BR biosynthesis and the signaling pathway in regulating these biological processes
The brassinosteroid signal transduction pathway - PubMed While animal steroid hormones are perceived by nuclear receptor family of transcription factors, brassinosteroids (BR) in plants are perceived by a cell surface receptor kinase, BRI1 Recent studies have demonstrated that BR binding to the extracellular domain of BRI1 induces kinase activation and dimerization with another receptor kinase, BAK1
Brassinosteroid Signal Transduction: From Receptor Kinase Activation to . . . Brassinosteroid (BR) signal transduction research has progressed rapidly from the initial discovery of the BR receptor to a complete definition of the basic molecular components required to relay the BR signal from perception by receptor kinases at
Brassinosteroid signal transduction from cell-surface receptor kinases . . . Brassinosteroid (BR) regulates gene expression and plant development through a receptor kinase-mediated signal transduction pathway Despite the identification of many components of this pathway, it remains unclear how the BR signal is transduced from the cell surface to the nucleus
