Abstract excerpt
The roles of sterols in plant development are not well understood, but evidence is emerging that they are required for cell division, polarity and patterning by mechanisms that are independent of brassinosteroids, of which they are precursors. Previous evidence shows that two sterol-defective mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., hyd1 and fk(hyd2), are defective in root development. Here we show that the...
