Protocol to Treat Seedlings with Brassinazole and Measure Hypocotyl Length in Arabidopsis thaliana
2015
Ana Espinosa-Ruiz | Cristina Martínez | Salomé Prat
The plant hormones brassinosteroids (BR) promote hypocotyl elongation of Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana) seedlings both under light and dark (etiolated) conditions. A common assay to determine if a mutant or transgenic line is affected in BR biosynthesis or response is a sensitivity assay to brassinazole (BRZ), an inhibitor of P450 cytochromes specific to BR biosynthesis. Here we provide a protocol to compare BRZ sensitivity of different A. thaliana genotypes in terms of hypocotyl elongation (Bernardo-García et al., 2014).
