Identification of a cloned cytokinin biosynthetic gene.

چکیده
A small region of the Ti plasmid (the tmr locus), thought to be involved in phytohormone metabolism in Agrobacterium tumefaciens-transformed plant tissue, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. By enzyme assay, the tmr locus was shown to encode isopentenyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in cytokinin biosynthesis.

In silico identification of miRNAs and their target genes and analysis of gene co-expression network in saffron (Crocus sativus L.) stigma
As an aromatic and colorful plant of substantive taste, saffron (Crocus sativus L.) owes such properties of matter to growing class of the secondary metabolites derived from the carotenoids, apocarotenoids. Regarding the critical role of microRNAs in secondary metabolic synthesis and the limited number of identified miRNAs in C. sativus, on the other hand, one may see the point how the characte...

Heat shock (HS) at 40 degrees C was given to the root system of Nicotiana tabacum wild type (WT) and to HSIPT transgenic plants transformed with the bacterial cytokinin biosynthesis gene isopentenyltransferase (ipt) cloned behind the heat shock 70 promoter from Drosophila melanogaster. HS increased cytokinin concentrations in roots and leaves of transgenic plants. The effect was smaller in WT p...

متن کاملPhenotype Modification and Enhanced Tolerance to Insect Pests by Regulated Expression of a Cytokinin Biosynthesis Gene
Phytohormones have long been recognized as modulators of growth and differentiation in plants. Early studies with tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) callus culture (Skoog and Miller, 1957) indicated that treatments with auxins and cytokinins, two major classes of phytohormones, could be used to manipulate morphogenesis. The involvement of cytokinins in a variety of plant developmental processes, su...

Cytokinins and gibberellins (GAs) play antagonistic roles in regulating reproductive meristem activity. Cytokinins have positive effects on meristem activity and maintenance. During inflorescence meristem development, cytokinin biosynthesis is activated via a KNOX-mediated pathway. Increased cytokinin activity leads to higher grain number, whereas GAs negatively affect meristem activity. The GA...
