Brassinosteroids: Plant Growth and Development
The entire range of the developmental process in plants is regulated by a shift in the hormonal concentration, tissue sensitivity and their interaction with the factors operating around the plants. Phytohormones play a crucial role in regulating the direc

Preface
Brassinosteroids are endogenous plant growth-promoting hormones found throughout the plant kingdom that influence cellular expansion and proliferation, and the phenotype of mutant affected in brassinosteroid biosynthesis and signaling clearly shows that these plant steroids are essential regulators of physiological processes including organ elongation, vascular differentiation, male fertility, timing of senescence, and leaf development. Several books covering various aspects of brassinosteroid biology and chemistry appeared in 1991, 1999, 2003, and 2011. However, in the past 7 years, a great deal of progress has been made in understanding specific components of brassinosteroid signal transduction and in clarifying mechanism by which brassinosteroid perception ultimately results in changes in th
