Abstract

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated phytosterols that play essential roles in regulating plant growth and development as well as stress adaptation. It is worth noting that BRs do not function alone, but rather they crosstalk with other endogenous signaling molecules, including the phytohormones auxin, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonates, salicylic acid and strigolactones, forming elaborate signaling networks to modulate plant growth and development. BRs interact with other phytohormones mainly by regulating each others' homeostasis, transport or signaling pathway at the transcriptional and posttranslational levels. In this review, we focus our attention on current research progress in BR signal transduction and the crosstalk between BRs and other phytohormones.
