Article Description

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are the polyhydroxylated plant hormones sharing a common resemblance with animal steroids. They are active even at very low concentrations and are implicated for their pleiotropic involvement in diverse physiological processes and defense strategies during stress in plants. These compounds are well apparent in the plant kingdom with higher amounts in juvenile tissues. A total of 62 steroidal compounds have been identified so far. Keeping their significance in mind, researchers not only have worked extensively on their isolation, but also they were synthesizing their synthetic isomers. Different analytical techniques like HPLC, GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, UPLC-MS/MS, and bioassay-based methods have been used for their isolation, detection, and characterization from composite plant materials. Therefore, this review provides comprehensive information to the readers intending to isolate and characterize BRs, using either laborious techniques or modern-day more efficient methods.
