Mesocotyl elongation is the key determinant of deep-sowing tolerance in maize. Sowing at an appropriate depth allows the seedling to exploit water and nutrients stored in deeper soil layers, thereby enhancing its ability to withstand drought and other abiotic stresses. Mesocotyl elongation is regulated by the phytohormones brassinosteroid (BR), auxin (IAA), gibberellin (GA), and reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, whether and how BR coordinates IAA, GA, and ROS to control mesocotyl elongation in maize remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that BRs orchestrate ROS, IAA, and GA signaling to remodel cell-wall metabolism in mesocotyl cells, promote cell elongation, and, consequently, strengthen deep-sowing tolerance. BR promoted mesocotyl elongation through multiple routes: (1) decreasing the contents of cell-wall components (hemicellulose, cellulose, and pectin); (2) activating cell-wall-loosening enzymes (cellulase, pectinase, and acidic xylanase); and (3) disturbing ROS homeostasis by elevating superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Combined treatments of BR with either IAA or GA further enhanced mesocotyl elongation in a concentration-dependent manner. In deep-sowing trials (15 cm), application of BR alone or in combination with IAA or GA markedly increased mesocotyl length and emergence rate, thereby improving deep-sowing tolerance. Our work indicated that BR integrated ROS, IAA, and GA signals to restructure the cell wall and derived mesocotyl cell elongation, providing both theoretical insights and practical strategies for breeding maize varieties with enhanced deep-sowing tolerance.
