Randomized trial shows brassinosteroid effects on growth habit in common bean, suggesting gene regulation implications.

This research aims to investigate how brassinosteroids and XTH genes influence the growth habit of twining common bean vines.
Applied active brassinosteroid and inhibitor to assess G-fiber development
Conducted anatomical and biochemical analyses, including RNA sequencing
Performed immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization to examine xyloglucan presence.
Brassinosteroid treatment resulted in significantly elongated internodes with disrupted circumnutation
Inhibitor treatment produced short internodes with thick G-fibers
Differential expression of XTH genes was significant during elongation and G-layer deposition.

Hunt et al. (2025) studied this question.
