Description Brassinosteroids play an important role in
growth and development of plants. They have been
reported universally in all the plants. The present
study deals with the presence of these compounds in
immature tea seeds. Five brassinosteroids, i.e.
6-deoxo-28-norcathasterone, 6-deoxo-28-norteasterone,
3-dehydro-6-deoxo-28-norteasterone, 6-deoxo-
28-nortyphasterol and 6-deoxo-28-norcastasterone
have been isolated and identified by GC–MS. The
identified brassinosteroids and their derivatives are
active constituents of late C-6 oxidation pathway,
thereby suggesting the biosynthesis of brassinosteroids
in tea seeds by late C-6 oxidation pathway.
