A mechanistic framework for the recognition of chemically diverse brassinosteroids by BRI1-family receptor kinases
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are chemically diverse plant steroid hormones produced via a branched biosynthetic pathway. The potent BR brassinolide is sensed by the membrane receptor kinase BRI1 and a SERK ...
