Brassinosteroid inhibits stomatal development by alleviating GSK3-mediated inhibition of a MAPK module, revealing a link between a plant MAPKKK and its upstream regulators, and between brassinosteroid and a specific developmental output.
Pivotal role for brassinosteroids
The brassinosteroids were the last of the known major groups of plant hormones to be discovered, in 1979 (see

). Previously, steroid hormones had been identified only in animals and fungi. In this study, Zhi-Yong Wang and colleagues show that brassinosteroid negatively regulates stomatal development, thereby uncovering a mechanism by which a plant hormone coordinates development with elements of photosynthesis to promote optimal plant growth.
