| Abstract: | Brassinosteroids are new class of
phytohormones and now considered as the sixth group of hormones in plants. They
influence varied growth and developmental processes such as growth, germination
of seeds, rhizogenesis, flowering, senescence and abscission and they are
considered as plant hormones with pleiotropic effects. The present paper
emphasizes the importance of 28-homobrassinolide and 24-epibrassinolide in the
root formation and root growth in case of coleus [Plectranthus forskohlii
(Willd.) Briq.]. The study revealed the ability of brassinosteroids in
increasing the root formation and root growth of treated cuttings over control. |
