Brassinazole is a selective triazole-type brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis inhibitor. Brassinazole is used for regulating plant growth and development^[1].

Brassinazole (0.5, 1, 5 μM) markedly causes malformation of seedlings, which becomes morphologically similar to BR-deficient mutants. Brassinazole-treated cress also shows dwarfism, with alters leaf morphology, including the downward curling and dark green color typical of Arabidopsis BR-deficient mutants, and this dwarfism is reversed by the application of 10 nM brassinolide^[1].

* Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
