Title: Brassinosteroid regulated kinases (BRKs) that mediate brassinosteroid signal transduction and uses thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1096016

The present invention identifies a novel family of kinases regulated by brassinosteroids, referred to as BRKs (brassinosteroid regulated kinases) or BSKs (brassinosteroid signaling kinases). The present invention provides methods for modulating the response of a plant cell to a brassinosteroid using BRKs.
