Brassinolide (Brass -16)

Branex (Brass -16) Brassinosteroids were first isolated from pollen grain of rape flowers (Brassica sp). It has the following features: Chemical Name: 2a, 22R  Tetrahydroxy-24S-cymene-b-7 oxygen-5a gallbladder  6  ketone. Brassinositiod : It is plant steroid Molecular weight: 494 Solubility: Isopropyle alcohol, Methanol, chloroform and acetone Non toxic: It is safe to human, birds and fish What is Brassinolide A new 6th generation plant growth harmon after Auxines, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Ascissic acid, Ethylene. It is polyhydroxy steroid. It interact with GA in cell wall elongation. It works independently to increase cell division. It shows synergetic effect with many plant growth regulators. It is effective at very low concentration say PPB (Parts per billion) How it helps plant to grow better and yield more Accelerated cell division and cell elongation, increases diameter, weight and size of fruits. When used in combination with GA gives best results. Cell wall expansion takes place. Improves the fertility of reproductive organs when used at flowering stage. Increase photosynthetic activity. It keeps fruit green for longer time. Seed weight increases, bolder seeds are produced. Increase in plants resistant powers towards disease and harsh condition. It helps plant to over come phyto toxicity effect of other chemicals. It increases ability to resist drought. New rooting comes out after spray. It increase enzyme and harmone production in plants to help in more Sugar formation and more Nuclic Acid production. Quality of fruit improves due to favorable factors. Such as more TSS, Brix, Ascorbic Acid etc. GA is soluble in Brassinolide formulations. Used in combination. Promotes early and uniform seed germination
