Brassinosteroids from seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana

Phytochemistry. 1997 Aug;45(7):1325-7. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(97)00177-5.

Abstract

Extracts of seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype 24) were analysed for the presence of free and conjugated brassinosteroids. 24-epi-Brassinolide (ca 220 ng kg-1) and castasterone (ca 360 ng kg-1) could be isolated and unambiguously identified as native brassinosteroids by GC/MS.
