Abstract
Brassinazole (Brz) is a specific brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor. Cress plants (Lepidium sativum) grown in medium containing Brz exhibited a slight predominance of phloem differentiation at the expense of xylem differentiation and remarkable inhibition of the development of secondary xylem. This result indicates that brassinosteroids function in xylem development in vivo.
