Abstract excerpt
The growth of leaves in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., is determined by the extent of expansion of individual cells and by cell proliferation. Mutants of A. thaliana with known defects in the biosynthesis or perception of brassinosteroids develop small leaves. When the leaves of brassinosteroid-related mutants, det2 (de-etiolated2 = cro1) and dwf1 (dwarf1 = cro2) were compared to wild-type...
