Abstract
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of polyhydroxy steroid that has been identified as a sixth class of plant hormones. These steroids have the potential for wide practical applications in agriculture. Exogenous application of BRs has an impact on a wide range of physiological responses, accumulation of secondary metabolites and plants resistance to stress factors. Brassinosteroids affect various physiological events such as plant development, seed germination, rhizogenesis, flowering, rooting, cell expansion and cell elongation.
