Molecular mechanisms of cytokinin action.

چکیده
Cytokinins have been implicated in many aspects of plant development, including a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation. Recent studies indicate that cytokinins may elevate cell division rates by induction of expression of CycD3, which encodes a D-type cyclin thought to play a role in the G1-->M transition of the cell cycle. Progress has also been made in our understanding of cytokinin perception as homologs of two-component phosphorelay systems have emerged as likely signaling elements.

Early cytokinin response proteins and phosphoproteins of Arabidopsis thaliana identified by proteome and phosphoproteome profiling
Cytokinins are plant hormones involved in regulation of diverse developmental and physiological processes in plants whose molecular mechanisms of action are being intensely researched. However, most rapid responses to cytokinin signals at the proteomic and phosphoproteomic levels are unknown. Early cytokinin responses were investigated through proteome-wide expression profiling based on image a...
متن کاملAuxin–Cytokinin Interaction Regulates Meristem Development
Plant hormones regulate many aspects of plant growth and development. Both auxin and cytokinin have been known for a long time to act either synergistically or antagonistically to control several significant developmental processes, such as the formation and maintenance of meristem. Over the past few years, exciting progress has been made to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying the auxin-...

While the molecular basis for cytokinin action is quite well understood in flowering plants, little is known about the cytokinin signal transduction in early diverging land plants. The genome of the bryophyte Physcomitrella patens (Hedw.) B.S. encodes three classical cytokinin receptors, the CHASE domain-containing histidine kinases, CHK1, CHK2, and CHK3. In a complementation assay with protopl...
متن کاملCytokinin regulates root meristem activity via modulation of the polar auxin transport.
Plant development is governed by signaling molecules called phytohormones. Typically, in certain developmental processes more than 1 hormone is implicated and, thus, coordination of their overlapping activities is crucial for correct plant development. However, molecular mechanisms underlying the hormonal crosstalk are only poorly understood. Multiple hormones including cytokinin and auxin have...

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...
