Functional study of the brassinosteroid biosynthetic genes from Selagnella moellendorfii in Arabidopsis. by Weijun Xu, Bowen Zheng, Qunwei Bai, Lei Wu, Yuping Liu, Guang Wu

“…Sm89026 (SmCPD) belonged to a clade with CYP90A1 (CPD) and CYP90B1 (DWF4) while Sm182839, Sm233379 and Sm157387 formed a distinct clade with CYP90C1 (ROT3) and CYP90D1. SmDET2, SmCPD and Sm157387 were highly expressed in both leaves and strobili while Sm233379 was only highly expressed in the leaves but not strobili, implying their differential functions in a tissue-specific manner in S. moellendorfii. …”
