BMC Plant Biology 2010, 10:151 /1471-2229/10/151 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Brassinosteroid-mediated stress tolerance in Research article Arabidopsis shows interactions with abscisic acid, ethylene and salicylic acid pathways Uday K Divi, Tawhidur Rahman and Priti Krishna* Abstract Background: Brassinosteroids (BRs) play crucial roles in plant development and also promote tolerance to a range of abiotic stresses. Although much has been learned about their roles in plant development, the mechanisms by which BRs control plant stress responses and regulate stress-responsive
