brassinosteroids
Brassinosteroids are plant hormones that regulate growth and development.
They influence cell elongation, division, and differentiation throughout a plant's life cycle—from seed germination to flowering.
First isolated from pollen of the mustard family, brassinosteroids are now known to occur in nearly all plant tissues and to help plants respond to environmental stress.
