BES1 Accumulates in the Nucleus in Response to Brassinosteroids to Regulate Gene Expression and Promote Stem Elongation

TLDR
BES1, a semidominant suppressor of bri1, is identified, which exhibits constitutive BR response phenotypes including long and bending petioles, curly leaves, accelerated senescence, and constitutive expression of BR-response genes.

BAK1, an Arabidopsis LRR Receptor-like Protein Kinase, Interacts with BRI1 and Modulates Brassinosteroid Signaling

TL;DR: Results indicate BAK1 is a component of BR signaling, and Expression of a dominant-negative mutant allele of B AK1 causes a severe dwarf phenotype, resembling the phenotype of null bri1 alleles.

Growth-defense tradeoffs in plants: a balancing act to optimize fitness.

TL;DR: Evidence supporting the growth-defense tradeoff concept is addressed, as well as known interactions between defense signaling and growth signaling, which should provide a foundation for the development of breeding strategies to maximize crop yield to meet rising global food and biofuel demands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear-localized BZR1 mediates brassinosteroid-induced growth and feedback suppression of brassinosteroid biosynthesis.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that BZR1 is a positive regulator of the BR signaling pathway that mediates both downstream BR responses and feedback regulation of BR biosynthesis.

Plant Responses to Ethylene Gas Are Mediated by SCFEBF1/EBF2-Dependent Proteolysis of EIN3 Transcription Factor

TL;DR: It is reported that EIN3 protein levels rapidly increase in response to ethylene and this response requires several ethylene-signaling pathway components including the ethylene receptors (ETR1 and EIN4), CTR1, Ein2, EIN5, and Ein6, and the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway.

Integration of Brassinosteroid Signal Transduction with the Transcription Network for Plant Growth Regulation in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: This work uses transcript profiling and chromatin-immunoprecipitation microarray experiments to identify 953 BR-regulated BZR1 target (BRBT) genes and reveals a regulatory network that integrates hormonal and light-signaling pathways for plant growth regulation.
