Abstract
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant-specific, intrinsically steroidal, and key hormones synthesized by the plant cells. The hormone mediates plant growth and development events, right from the decisive event of seed germination. Proteins are also the functional factors of a cell, which respond and regulate almost all physiological processes. The chapter discusses the specific role of BRs at different stages of seed germination, concentrates the signaling factors, and categorizes the signaling mechanisms. However, all the details have been provided with a special focus on proteins associated with BR. The chapter has also enlisted the BR-sensitive proteins along with their specific roles in cell physiology and metabolism. It describes the details of BR-sensitive proteins at three stages of seed germination and differentiates BR signaling into two distinct pathways. A total of 88 protein species have been found BR-sensitive, for which the international identifiers and cellular activities have been described. Although there are many gaps in understanding the BR responses and the mechanisms behind them, the current article would be helpful to understand the behavior of the hormone and the dimensions of its cellular responses.
