The role of sterols in plant growth and development.

Progress in lipid research - 1 May 2003

Schaller Hubert

Abstract excerpt

Sterols found in all eukaryotic organisms are membrane components which regulate the fluidity and the permeability of phospholipid bilayers. Certain sterols in minute amounts, such as campesterol in Arabidopsis thaliana, are precursors of oxidized steroids acting as growth hormones collectively named brassinosteroids. The crucial importance of brassinosteroids upon growth and development has been established...
