Steroid regulation improves crop yield
Article Abstract:
The effects of manipulating the brassinosteroids, a class of more than 40 plant polyhydroxylated sterol derivative that influence cell elongation, vascular development and stress tolerance, in plants is studied. The results show that manipulation of brassinosteroid synthesis offers a promising approach to improving rice yield under dense planting conditions.
