Randomized trial explores brassinosteroids' effect on light-regulated development in Arabidopsis, suggesting vital regulatory implications.

This research investigates the role of brassinosteroids in the light-dependent development of Arabidopsis.
Analyzed the role of the Arabidopsis DET2 gene in light-regulated development.
Examined the effects of a mutation in DET2 that impacts its activity.
Applied brassinolide to assess its role in ameliorating developmental defects.
Brassinolide application successfully corrected defects in light-regulated development caused by DET2 mutation.
Detection of significant sequence identity between DET2 and mammalian steroid reductases.
Evidence supports DET2's role in the brassinolide biosynthetic pathway.

Li et al. (1996) studied this question.
