Naturally occurring cytokinins are adenine derivatives with distinct substitutions attached to the N6position of the adenine ring ( Figure 1 ). (bioone.org)
Trans3
The most common class of cytokinins have isoprenoid side chains, including the most abundant cytokinin in Arabidopsis, trans-zeatin. (bioone.org)
In higher plants, zeatin occurs in both the cis and the trans configuration, and these forms can be interconverted by an enzyme known as zeatin isomerase. (bioone.org)
Cytokinin groups a collection of N 6 -substituted adenine derivatives, including trans -zeatin ( t Z) and isopentenyladenine (iP). (nature.com)
Compound2
They identified an adenine derivative, 6-furfurylaminopurine, as the active compound and named it kinetin. (bioone.org)
To adopt this tool for mapping subcellular localization of cytokinin receptors, using docking experiments and cytokinin activity screening bioassays, we selected a fluorescently labelled bioactive compound that interacts with the binding site of a cytokinin receptor. (nature.com)
Play a role1
Since their discovery, cytokinins have been implicated to play a role in almost all aspects of plant growth and development, including cell division, shoot initiation and growth, leaf senescence, and photomorphogenic development ( Mok and Mok, 1994 ). (bioone.org)
Cell division1
The plant hormone cytokinin regulates various cell and developmental processes, including cell division and differentiation, embryogenesis, activity of shoot and root apical meristems, formation of shoot and root lateral organs and others 1 . (nature.com)
Show1
Here, by detailed monitoring of subcellular localizations of the fluorescently labelled natural cytokinin probe and the receptor ARABIDOPSIS HISTIDINE KINASE 4 (CRE1/AHK4) fused to GFP reporter, we show that pools of the ER-located cytokinin receptors can enter the secretory pathway and reach the PM in cells of the root apical meristem, and the cell plate of dividing meristematic cells.
