Abstract
Brassinosteroids promote soybean epicotyl elongation and regulate expr ession of BRU1, a gene with homology to xyloglucan endotransglycosylas es (XETs), Recombinant BRU1 protein possesses XET activity and in situ hybridization reveals highest BRU1 transcript accumulation in inner e picotyl tissue, particularly the phloem and paratracheary parenchyma c ells, These results suggest a role for BRU1 in vascular development in addition to cell elongation.
