    Product Description

    Brassinolide is a biologically active brassinosteroid that has important roles in regulating plant growth and development.1,2 It activates plasma membrane-bound brassinosteroid insensitive 1 (Bri1), a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase, which interacts with Bri1-associated receptor kinase 1 (BAK1) to initiate signaling.3,2
