Research Abstract

Light has been suggested to be a negative regulator of brassionsteroid biosynthesis, but there have been no evidence both at biochemical and molecular biological level. We isolated brassinosteroid-6-oxidase gene (B6OX) from Arabidopsis. B6OX gene was functionally expressed in yeast and the enzyme converted [2H6]6-DeoxoTE to [2H6]CS, [2H6]TY and [2H6]TE respectively, but did not convert [2H6]6-deoxo3DT, [2H6]6-DeoxoCT and [2H6]CN.When transcript level of B6oX gene was investigated by northern analysis, it was higher in plants grown in light than in darkness. We also analyzed endogenous BRs for light- and dark-grown seedlings by GC-MS.Light-grown plants accumulated more C6-oxidized brassinosteroids than dark-grown ones.
