Comparative analysis of the effects of homocastasterone and two derivatives on shoot and main root elongation of tomato plantlets
Brassinosteroids (BRs) comprise a specific class of low-abundance plant steroids of ubiquitous occurrence in plants. Molecular genetic analysis of mutants defective in BRs biosynthesis or response has demonstrated that the ability to synthesize, perceive and respond to BRs is critical for normal pla...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) comprise a specific class of low-abundance plant steroids of ubiquitous occurrence in plants. Molecular genetic analysis of mutants defective in BRs biosynthesis or response has demonstrated that the ability to synthesize, perceive and respond to BRs is critical for normal plant growth. In this work, the structure-activity relationships of two synthetic derivatives of 28-homocastasterone (28-HCS) were evaluated on tomato plantlets using the native 28-HCS and epibrassinolide (epi-BL) as control. Progressive enhancement in the main root elongation was found for plantlets treated with increased doses of 5α-fluoro-28-homocastasterone (5F-HCS) within the 0.5-4μgshoot-1 range. When compared to epi-BL, to the parental 28-HCS and to a mono 5-hydroxy HCS derivative (5OH-HCS), no difference between 5F-HCS and the other BRs, towards stimulation of main root elongation, was found when these BRs were applied at a dose of 2.0μg per plantlet.
