Description
Plants possess the ability to biosynthesize a large variety of steroids, but it was not until 1979 that a hormonal function was demonstrated
in plants. Today, about 40 structurally and functionally related steroids, known as brassinosteroids, have been isolated from natural
sources. Brassinosteroids demonstrate various kinds of regulatory activities in the growth and development of plants. This book is based
on a 1990 Russian monograph, but includes all important subsequent literature and developments, including unpublished data from the authors'
laboratories.
Audience
Plant biologists, natural products chemists, and steriod biochemists in academia and industry.
