Brassinosteroids are plant compounds that have the ability to stimulate plant growth. They have been shown to influence germination, rhizogenesis, flowering, senescence, abscission, and maturation processes. Brassinosteroids also confer resistance to plants against abiotic and biotic stress, which is why they are considered a new class of plant hormones with pleiotropic effects.

Recent discoveries of the physiological properties of brassinosteroids allow us to consider them as natural substances appropriate for their use towards the protection of plants and increase in agricultural production, among other characteristics.
