This book provides a comprehensive and up to date account of the brassinosteroids, incorporating both theoretical and practical aspects. The contributors to this book are experts of international repute. Each chapter presents a review of the available literature and provides insight into current thinking by pointing out the limitations and gaps in the present knowledge and directing the way forward for further research.Separate chapters deal with the chemical structures, occurrence, synthesis, perception, signal transduction and practical applicability of the brassinosteroids and their analogs. The basic difference, with available reviews, here is the emphasis given to crops improvement by the application of brassinosteroids.Brassinosteroids: Bioactivity and Crop Productivity shall be a rich source of recent knowledge on brassinosteroids, for all students and researchers, particularly in the area of plant hormones, plant physiology and crop productivity.

From the reviews: "It deals with the chemistry, with perception and signal transduction, with physiological effects and with use in agriculture. ... as this book summarizes a large part of the vast amount of knowledge on brassinosteroids, it is highly relevant for researchers interested in this new plant growth regulator." (Geert-Jan de Klerk, Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, Vol. 79, 2004) "In this book, the editors focus on the practical importance of brassinosteroids in agricultural and horticultural applications ... . the book might be interesting to scientists and students working in fundamental and applied research since it provides a comprehensive overview of the practical feasibility of brassinosteroid application, which is not readily accessible elsewhere." (Bernd Schneider, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 161 (11), 2004)
