On foliar application or dipping brassinoloids easily get absorbed through cell wall.
It is get bound with suitable receptor located in plasma membrane.
Binding of brassinoloid molecules to receptor gives activation of biochemical reactions which promotes cell elongation and division resulting in increasing of fruit size.
On other hand it promotes rooting and rhizome initiation.
Increases rate of photosynthesis.
Benefits
- Effectively stimulate growth in young vegetative tissues.
- Due to increased cell division fruit size get enlarged.
- Improves fruit quality in order to colour, brightness, sugar content, luster and also keeping quality.
- It confers resistance to plants against various abiotic stresses.
