Update on Cytokinins Cytokinins. New Insights into a Classic Phytohormone
Cytokinins were discovered in the search for factors that promoted division of plant cells in culture. Naturally occurring cytokinins are N-substituted adenine derivatives that generally contain an isoprenoid derivative side chain. These hormones influence numerous aspects of plant development and physiology, including seed germination, de-etiolation, chloroplast differentiation, apical dominan...
متن کاملCytokinins on the Move
Cytokinins are important signals that participate in different plant processes, and are well known for their strong influence in plant development. With the years, knowledge has been built about their effects, chemical nature, metabolism, and signaling mechanisms. However, one aspect about cytokinins that has been lagging behind is cytokinin transport. Recent reports are providing more informat...
متن کاملCytokinins induce sporulation in Dictyostelium.
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum diverged from the line leading to animals shortly after the separation of plants and animals but it retained characteristics of both kingdoms. A GABA(B)-like receptor and a peptide, SDF-2, with homologs found only in animals, control sporulation, while cytokinins, which act as hormones in plants, keep spores dormant. When SDF-2 binds its receptor DhkA,...
متن کاملCytokinins: activity, biosynthesis, and translocation.
Cytokinins (CKs) play a crucial role in various phases of plant growth and development, but the basic molecular mechanisms of their biosynthesis and signal transduction only recently became clear. The progress was achieved by identifying a series of key genes encoding enzymes and proteins controlling critical steps in biosynthesis, translocation, and signaling. Basic schemes for CK homeostasis ...
متن کاملPolarographic Investigation of Some Cytokinins
The cytokinins constitute one of the five groups of plant hormones, and are characterised by their ability to promote cell division in cultured plant callus tissue under appropriate conditions [I-31. With the exception of diphenylurea, all cytokinins that have been unambiguously identified in extracts of higher plants are derivatives of adenine, including 6-aminoand riboside-substituted compoun...
