Overexpression of a BR inactivating enzyme gene GhPAG1 impacts eggplant fruit development and anthocyanin accumulation mainly by altering hormone homeostasis.

Brassinosteroid deficiency in eggplants hinders fruit development and pigmentation, resulting in smaller, less colorful fruit. Genes responsible for cell elongation, hormone signaling, and pigment production were affected.
