Fig. 1 Brassinosteroid biosynthesis pathway.<br />
Arabidopsis mutants such as det2, dwf4 and cpd clarified the detail<br />
brassinosteroid biosynthetic pathway. One possible target of Brz is the<br />
cytochrome P450 enzyme encoded by DWF4.<br />
phytohormone group.<br />
Brz, Brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor, revealed brassinosteroid functions in plant growth<br />
The recently-synthesized compound brassinazole (Brz or Brz220) was the first specific<br />
inhibitor of brassinosteroid biosynthesis to be discovered. One possible target of Brz220 is the<br />
cytochrome P450 enzyme encoded by DWF4 (Asami et al., 2001) (Fig. 1). Brz220 treatment of
