Simplified biosynthetic pathway of sterols in higher plants. 24-Methyl cholesterol is present in higher plants as a mixture of its (24-R)- and (24-S)-epimers campesterol and dihydrobrassicasterol (Rubinstein et al., 1976; Rendell et al., 1986) and is a precursor for the synthesis of brassinosteroids. The dashed arrows indicate more than one biosynthetic step not shown here.
