<h4>Background</h4>The EXO (EXORDIUM) gene was identified as a potential mediator of brassinosteroid (BR)-promoted growth. It is part of a gene family with eight members in Arabidopsis. EXO gene expression is under control of BR, and EXO overexpression promotes shoot and root growth. In this study, the consequences of loss of EXO function are described.<h4>Results</h4>The exo loss of function mutant showed diminished leaf and root growth and reduced biomass production.
