1 The DWF4 gene of Arabidopsis encodes a cytochrome P450 that mediates multiple 22alpha-hydroxylation steps in brassinosteroid biosynthesis. Brassinosteroids Cytochrome P450 superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
2 Dwarfism could be rescued by the application of brassinolide, suggesting that DWF4 plays a role in brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis. Brassinosteroids Cytochrome P450 superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
3 Dwarfism could be rescued by the application of brassinolide, suggesting that DWF4 plays a role in brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis. Brassinosteroids Cytochrome P450 superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
4 In fact, feeding studies utilizing BR intermediates showed that only 22alpha-hydroxylated BRs rescued the dwf4 phenotype, confirming that DWF4 acts as a 22alpha-hydroxylase. Brassinosteroids Cytochrome P450 superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
