Application Notes
This molecule has been shown to increase plant cell elongation. Both gibberillins and brassinosteroids are known to positively regulate this elongation through over expression of Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor PRE1 (PACLOBUTRAZOL-RESISTANT1) (Zhang et al. 2009). PRE1 is also an antagonist of the transcriptional repressor IBH1 (ILI1 BINDING BHLH PROTEIN1) which inhibits this elongation (Ikeda et al. 2012). eBL is an active form of brassinosteroids and it also down regulates the expression of IBH1.
