Brassinosteroid-stimulated branch elongation in the marubakaido apple rootstock

Brassinosteroids (BRs) comprise a specific class of low-abundance plant steroids now recognized as a new class of phytohormones. In this paper, we demonstrate that a fluoro derivative of 28-homocastasterone (5F-HCTS) stimulates branch elongation in in vitro-grown shoots of Malus prunifolia, the maru...
