Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated plant steroid hormones that are
crucial for many aspects of a plant's life. BRs were originally characterized for their function …

Phytosterols (plant sterols) occur in the cells of all plants. They are important structural
components that stabilize the biological membranes of plants. Sterols can occur in the “free” …

Maintaining microbiome structure is critical for the health of both plants and animals. By re-
screening a collection of Arabidopsis mutants affecting root immunity and hormone …

Targeted genome-editing tools are very important and efficient for plant functional genomics
research, especially when proper mutants are not available. CRISPR/Cas9-based genome …

Plant stress responses involve dynamic growth regulation. Growth is restricted in harsh
environmental conditions and is rapidly restored when conditions improve. Here, we …

Devices that interact with living organisms are typically made of metals, silicon, ceramics,
and plastics. Implantation of such devices for long-term monitoring or treatment generally …

Brassinosteroids regulate plant growth and development through a protein complex that
includes the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase (LRR-RLK) brassinosteroid …

Plant environmental responses involve dynamic changes in growth and signaling, yet little is
understood as to how progress through these events is regulated. Here, we explored the …

Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), are perceived by a cell surface receptor
kinase, BRI1, but how BR binding leads to regulation of gene expression in the nucleus is …

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 …
