Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Plants enjoy their entire life exactly where they were initially rooted. Because of this fixed life pattern, plants have to devise a different type of strategy than animals to survive the numerous biotic and abiotic challenges. Many different plant hormones that act alone or in concert underpin these mechanisms. Brassinosteroids (BRs) collectively refer to plant-originated 5α-cholestane steroids that elicit growth stimulation in nano- or micromolar concentrations. BRs that are biosynthesized using sterols as precursors are structurally similar to the cholesterol derived, mammalian steroid hormones, insect molting hormones and ecdysteroids. BRs have been known for decades to be effective in plant growth promotion. However, definitive evidence for their roles in growth and development remained unclear until the recent characterization of BR dwarf mutants isolated from Arabidopsis and other plants. This review aims to provide a cohesive summary of information obtained from the molecular genetic characterization of mutants that are defective in sterol and BR biosynthetic pathways.
