Brassinosteroids Signalling

Abstract

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a cluster of naturally up plant steroidal compounds with extensive range of biological action that proffer the exclusive opportunity of growing crop productivity through both altering plant metabolism and defensive plants from environmental cues. Research on BRs, assisted by the new progress in knowledge, has interpreted their function not only in crop development but also in crop adaptation under heat stress conditions. Existing reports point out that BRs play important functioning in plant’s tolerance against heat stress, resultant in proficient stress supervision under unfavorable conditions. Due to their characteristic and resourceful purpose, BRs are usually used to enhance plant value and productivity. However, how heat stress could function in protein folding throughout BR act is badly tacit. This chapter focuses on the present position of our considerate about the function of BRs in protein folding in elevated temperature stress.
