Abstract
Brassinosteroids are essential for growth of most plant organs. However, little is known about their role in metabolic processes. We show that brassinosteroids in shoots are essential for sugar accumulation in tomato fruits, and show further brassinosteroid-dependent metabolic changes in fruits of the brassinosteroid-deficient dx mutant.
