Brassinosteroids are found in a wide range of organisms from lower to higher plants. They are steroidal plant hormones implicated in the promotion of plant growth and development. Brassinosteroid metabolism has long been known to be altered in plants responding to abiotic stresses and to undergo profound changes in plants interacting with bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. This review describes the role of brassinosteroids in response to various kinds of stresses via activation of different mechanisms.
油菜素甾醇存在于从低等植物到高等植物的广泛生物体中。它们是甾体类植物激素，与促进植物生长发育有关。长期以来，人们已知油菜素甾醇的代谢在植物对非生物胁迫的响应中会发生改变，并且在与细菌、真菌和病毒病原体相互作用的植物中会发生深刻变化。这篇综述描述了油菜素甾醇通过激活不同机制在应对各种胁迫中的作用。
