title: Brassinosteroids from seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana.
abstract: Extracts of seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype 24) were analysed for the presence of free and conjugated brassinosteroids. 24-epi-Brassinolide (ca 220 ng kg-1) and castasterone (ca 360 ng kg-1) could be isolated and unambiguously identified as native brassinosteroids by GC/MS.
