Brassinazole Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Brassinazole has been used in phenotype analyses to detect morphological changes in G-protein β subunit agb1 mutants.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brassinazole induces dwarfism and morphological changes in Arabidopsis, which results in similarity with brassinosteroid deficient mutants. These changes were neutralized by brassinolide treatment, indicating that brassinazole leads to brassinolide deficiency in Arabidopsis.
