Strigolactones spatially influence lateral root development through the cytokinin signaling network Ghent University
Nodule numbers are governed by interaction between CLE peptides and cytokinin signaling Ghent University
Cytokinin regulates root meristem activity via modulation of the polar auxin transport Ghent University
A novel protective function for cytokinin in the light stress response is mediated by the Arabidopsis histidine kinase2 and Arabidopsis histidine kinase3 receptors University of Antwerp
Cytokinins are plant hormones that regulate diverse processes in plant development and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we show that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants with a reduced cytokinin status (i.e. cytokinin receptor mutants and transgenic cytokinin-deficient plants) are more susceptible to light stress compared with wild-type plants. This was reflected by a stronger photoinhibition after 24 h of high light ...
The transcriptional repressor ARR1-SRDX suppresses pleiotropic cytokinin activities in Arabidopsis KU Leuven
The signal transduction of the phytohormone cytokinin is mediated by a multistep histidine-to-aspartate phosphorelay system. One component of this system are B-type response regulators, transcription factors mediating at least part of the response to cytokinin. In planta functional analysis of this family is hampered by the high level of functional redundancy of its 11 members. We generated a dominant repressor version of the Arabidopsis ...
Analysis of the photosynthetic apparatus in transgenic tobacco plants with altered endogenous cytokinin content: a proteomic study Hasselt University
Background: Cytokinin is a plant hormone that plays a crucial role in several processes of plant growth and development. In recent years, major breakthroughs have been achieved in the elucidation of the metabolism, the signal perception and transduction, as well as the biological functions of cytokinin. An important activity of cytokinin is the involvement in chloroplast development and function. Although this biological function has already ...
How the fas locus contributes to Rhodococcus fascians cytokinin production: an in-depth molecular and biochemical analysis Ghent University
The fine-tuned balance of plant regulators plays a key role in growth and development of plants. Many plant-associated bacteria can influence their hosts either by modulating phytohormone production or by producing phytohormones themselves. The Actinomycete Rhodococcus fascians provokes the formation of differentiated leafy galls consisting of numerous shoot primordia that are inhibited in further outgrowth. Based on the shooty phenotype and the ...
Perturbation of cytokinin and ethylene-signalling pathways explain the strong rooting phenotype exhibited by Arabidopsis expressing the **Schizosaccharomyces pombe** mitotic inducer, **cdc25** University of Antwerp
Background: Entry into mitosis is regulated by cyclin dependent kinases that in turn are phosphoregulated. In most eukaryotes, phosphoregulation is through WEE1 kinase and CDC25 phosphatase. In higher plants a homologous CDC25 gene is unconfirmed and hence the mitotic inducer Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Sp) cdc25 has been used as a tool in transgenic plants to probe cell cycle function. Expression of Spcdc25 in tobacco BY-2 cells accelerates ...
