Brassinosteroids (BRs) play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses through the receptor, Brassinosteroid-insensitive 1 (BRI1), which perceives BRs and initiates BR signaling. There is considerable potential agricultural value in regulating BR signaling in crops. In this study, we investigated the effects of overexpressing the tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>) <i>BRI1</i> gene, <i>SlBRI1</i>, on major agronomic traits, such as seed germination, vegetative growth, fr ...[more]
