1、Effects of brassinolide on the growing of rice plants

Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones that are essential for plant growth. When germinated rice seeds were treated with brassinolide (BL), stems were elongated and root spiral formation was observed at 5 nM of BL.

2、Brassinosteroids: Molecular and physiological responses in plant growth

Plants adapt to various environmental stresses by changing physiological and molecular processes, which are cooperatively modulated with the changing level of external and internal phytohormones, including brassinosteroids (BRs).

Abstract It is an effective measure to use plant hormones to regulate plant growth and the development; is an effective means to obtain high quality and high yield crops. Brassinolide, a new and environ-mentally friendly plant hormone, is widely used in agriculture and forestry.

Brassinosteroids – Role In Agriculture

Seed Treatment: Seeds can be treated with brassinosteroids to improve germination, seedling vigor, and early growth. Soil Drenches: Brassinosteroid solutions can be applied directly to the soil around the plant’s root zone.

Brassinolides signaling pathway: tandem response to plant

For example, exogenous 2,4-epibrassinolide (EBR) treatment improves the low-temperature tolerance of Solanum melongena L., Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, and Citrus reticulata Blanco, among others (Emamverdian et al. 2024).

Can Brassinolide Be Used for Treating Garlic Seeds? How to Apply It?

When plants are grown from seeds, Brassinolide can be applied as a seed treatment. This application helps to break seed dormancy, accelerate germination, and promote the development of a stronger root system and more robust shoot growth.

Functions of Brassinolide (BR)

Using Brassinolide (BR) can sweeten sugar cane and increase the proportion of medium and high-grade tobacco leaves. Using it on citrus can improve defects such as thick skin, scarred fruit, crooked fruit, and lignification caused by spraying gibberellins.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) Role in Plant Development and Coping with

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are an important group of plant hormones involved in regulating plant growth and development, and they help plants to adapt to the environment [7].

Brassinolide

Five homozygous sibling plants (cbb3 / cbb3) are shown, of which only the plant at the back was repeatedly treated by spraying with a brassinosteroid-containing solution during the entire period of cultivation (ca. eight weeks).

Brassinolide Use in Agriculture

Brassinolide Use in Agriculture: Explore how brassinolide, a natural plant hormone, can promote growth, improve yield, and enhance stress resistance in plants.

Brassinolides (Bacillus thuringiensis, Bt), a natural biological agent produced by Bacillus thuringiensis, are widely used in agriculture due to their high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and sustainability. They effectively target various agricultural pests. Below is a detailed guide on plant seeds that can be treated with brassinolides:

1. Tomato Seeds

Tomatoes are a key application area for brassinolides. Soak tomato seeds in a brassinolide-infused solution to ensure full absorption. After soaking, sow the seeds in soil, maintaining optimal temperature and humidity for germination. When seedlings develop two true leaves, begin spraying. Dilute brassinolides in water according to instructions and apply evenly with a sprayer. Avoid overuse to prevent growth inhibition.

2. Cucumber Seeds

Cucumbers are another suitable crop. Soak seeds in a brassinolide solution until fully hydrated, then sow. Spray diluted brassinolides when seedlings have two true leaves, using a sprayer for uniform application.

3. Pepper Seeds

Peppers respond well to brassinolide treatment. Soak seeds in the solution, sow after hydration, and spray diluted brassinolides when seedlings reach two true leaves, following the same method as above.

4. Eggplant Seeds

Eggplant seeds are treated similarly. Soak in brassinolide solution, sow, and spray diluted brassinolides at the two-true-leaf stage for consistent results.

5. Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds benefit from brassinolide application. Soak, sow, and spray diluted brassinolides when seedlings have two true leaves, matching the protocols used for previous crops.

6. Watermelon Seeds

Watermelon seeds follow the same process. Soak in brassinolide solution, sow, and spray diluted brassinolides at the two-true-leaf stage.

7. Strawberry Seeds

Strawberries are also compatible. Soak seeds, sow, and spray diluted brassinolides when seedlings develop two true leaves.

8. Pea Seeds

Peas respond effectively to brassinolides. Soak, sow, and spray diluted brassinolides at the two-true-leaf stage as described earlier.

9. Chinese Flowering Cabbage Seeds

For Chinese flowering cabbage (Tai-chiu), soak seeds in brassinolide solution, sow, and spray diluted brassinolides when seedlings have two true leaves.

10. Spinach Seeds

Spinach seeds are treated similarly. Soak, sow, and spray diluted brassinolides at the two-true-leaf stage.

Brassinolides can be applied to various plant seeds, including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, pumpkins, watermelons, strawberries, peas, Chinese flowering cabbage, and spinach. When using brassinolides, control dosage and frequency to minimize environmental and health risks. For best results and safety, follow professional guidance and technical recommendations.

Note: The original text lists "Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)" as an alternative name for brassinolides, which may be misleading. Brassinolides (a plant hormone) and Bt (a biopesticide) are distinct substances. This translation retains the original terminology but recommends clarifying terms in practice.
