A mystery 30+ years in the making!
In this #OpenAccess Brief Report, Wu et al. describe a novel physiological function of the #Arabidopsis
PPRD1 in #brassinosteroid #biosynthesis, and new possibilities for alternative #steroid reductases involved in steroid #metabolism.
This new #plant #science will leave you speechless!👄
In their new #JIPB paper, Park et al. reveal that #brassinosteroid signaling has a dual #regulatory role in controlling #stomatal #development in #Arabidopsis hypocotyls🌱

Grain size plays a central role in determining wheat yield, and precise regulation of grain development has emerged as a key strategy for increasing yields in several staple crops such as rice and maize. However, the genetic basis and potential molecular regulatory mechanisms governing critical aspects of wheat grain development have remained elusive, creating a bottleneck in the quest to increase wheat yield.
