1、Exogenous brassinosteroid alleviates calcium deficiency induced tip
This study reveals the physiological mechanism of the alleviation role of exogenous BR on Ca 2+ deficiency-induced tip-burn in mini Chinese cabbage, as well as provides important guidance for the prevention and control of tip-burn in its cultivation and production.
2、Exogenous brassinosteroids alleviate calcium deficiency
The results revealed the mitigation mechanism of BRs on the Ca 2+ deficiency induced tip-burn in mini Chinese cabbage, which provided a new strategy and theoretical basis for overcoming the occurrence of tip-burn in mini Chinese cabbage cultivation.
3、Brassinolide enhances glucosinolates biosynthesis in shoot culture of
This research provides valuable insights for pharmaceutical and food companies interested in producing consistent levels of glucosinolates in Chinese cabbage shoots through the use of brassinolide.
4、Brassinosteroids play a critical role in the regulation of pesticide
Here we show that brassinosteroids (BRs), a class of natural plant hormones, decreased residues of common organophosphorus, organochlorine and carbamate pesticides by 30–70% on tomato, rice,...
5、Brassinosteroid promotes leaf wrinkling in Brassica campestris by
In this study, we compared the transcriptomes of 2 Chinese cabbage cultivars, 'Huangya14' ('HY14', with wrinkled leaf) and 'Suzhouqing' ('SZQ', with flat leaf), at 3 developmental stages.
Effects of Brassinosteroid on Cell Division and Colony Formation of
Effects of epibrassinolide (EBR), one of the brassinosteroids (BRs), on culture of Chinese cabbage mesophyll protoplasts were researched. The addition of EBR to the liquid culture medium increased the cell division rate and the amount of soluble protein of the protoplasts during culture.
Brassinosteroid
In this study, we investigated whether S-nitrosylation proteins are involved in regulating energy metabolism in mini Chinese cabbage seedlings at low temperature. Low temperature inhibited the transcriptional accumulation of BrFBA2, BrGAPDH, BrPGK, and BrPK.
Exogenous brassinosteroids alleviate calcium deficiency
The results showed that exogenous BRs reduced the tip-burn incidence rate and disease index of mini Chinese cabbage, and the tip-burn incidence rate reached the highest on the ninth day after treatment.

Brassinosteroids are a class of plant hormones with multiple physiological functions, including regulating plant growth, promoting flowering, and enhancing stress resistance. In agricultural production, brassinosteroids, as biopesticides, have been widely applied to various crops for planting and pest control. there is currently no clear research evidence on whether brassinosteroids can be used in Chinese cabbage cultivation. The following is a detailed discussion of this issue:
1. Basic Properties of Brassinosteroids Brassinosteroids are naturally occurring plant hormones, primarily found in cruciferous plants. They exhibit certain toxicity to humans and animals, so their application in agriculture requires caution. Currently, brassinosteroids are mainly used in crops like cotton, tomatoes, and peppers, while their use in cruciferous vegetables such as Chinese cabbage remains unclear.
2. Growth Characteristics of Chinese Cabbage Chinese cabbage, a cruciferous plant, has a short growth cycle, typically maturing within 40 days after spring planting. During its growth, it requires adequate sunlight, suitable temperature, and humidity. Additionally, Chinese cabbage has strong resistance to pests and diseases, but may still suffer from these issues under adverse conditions. rational fertilization, timely irrigation, and pest control are critical in its cultivation.
3. Prospects for Brassinosteroid Application in Chinese Cabbage Although no studies have confirmed the use of brassinosteroids in Chinese cabbage, their widespread application in other cruciferous vegetables and their advantages in improving stress resistance and promoting growth suggests significant potential. Specifically, brassinosteroids could serve as novel biopesticides to regulate crop growth, enhance disease/pest resistance, reduce production costs, and improve yield and quality.
4. Methods for Applying Brassinosteroids in Chinese Cabbage To maximize effectiveness, further research is needed on application methods. Some studies suggest that brassinosteroids can be applied via spraying or soaking. For example, diluting brassinosteroids in water and spraying onto cabbage leaves or soaking roots could enhance disease/pest resistance without disrupting normal growth.
5. Precautions for Using Brassinosteroids in Chinese Cabbage Despite their potential, the following precautions should be considered:
- Select Appropriate Varieties: Choose brassinosteroid products suited to the growth stage and pest/disease conditions of Chinese cabbage.
- Control Dosage: Excessive use may hinder growth or reduce yields. Follow product guidelines strictly.
- Monitor Crop Response: Observe growth, pest/disease development, and adjust applications if abnormalities arise.
- Combine with Other Pesticides: Avoid interactions with other pesticides that could harm crops or disrupt growth.
brassinosteroids hold broad prospects for Chinese cabbage cultivation. While no definitive evidence currently supports their use, advancements in scientific research may soon enable practical applications. When using brassinosteroids, adhere to regulations and standards to ensure food safety and environmental health.
