metabolism | the expression of DWARF4, which encodes a C-22 hydroxylase, is crucial for brassinosteroid biosynthesis and for the feedback control of endogenous brassinosteroid levels. The amount of the DWF4 mRNA precursor either decreases or increases, similarly with its mature form, in response to an exogenously applied bioactive brassinosteroid, brassinolide, and a brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor, brassinazole, respectively. Brassinosteroids act positively on root elongation under the control of auxin | Arabidopsis thaliana |
physiological function | the expression of DWARF4, which encodes a C-22 hydroxylase, is crucial for brassinosteroid biosynthesis and for the feedback control of endogenous brassinosteroid levels. DWF4 transcription plays an important role in the brassinosteroid-auxin crosstalk associated with root elongation, in addition to its role in brassinosteroid homeostasis | Arabidopsis thaliana |
