The Promotive Effect of Brassinolide on Lamina Joint-Cell Elongation, Germination and Seedling Growth under Low-Temperature Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The cell elongation-promoting activities of brassinolide (BR) and indoleacetic acid (IAA) in the lamina-inclination test using etiolated rice seedlings were compared at a low temperature. IAA promoted the lamina joint-cell elongation at 30°G, but the effect was markedly lowered with decreasing tempe...

The cell elongation-promoting activities of brassinolide (BR) and indoleacetic acid (IAA) in the lamina-inclination test using etiolated rice seedlings were compared at a low temperature.

Homobrassinolide (HBR), a brassinosteroid, also promoted this cell elongation, although the activity was weak. The combination of BR and IAA synergistically promoted this cell elongation at a low temperature (15°G).
