Cytokinins (CK) are a class of plant hormones that promote cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation, but also affect apical …

A cytokinin is any of a number of plant hormones that influence growth and the stimulation of cell division. Cytokinins are synthesized in the roots and travel through the xylem to the leaves and fruits, …

Mar 27, 2002 · We discuss the perception of cytokinin by the ER-localized histidine kinase receptors, the role of the AHPs in mediating the transfer of the phosphoryl group from the receptors to the response …

Like auxins, cytokinin can cause changes in gene expression. To begin this process, a cytokinin binds to a receptor protein embedded in the plasma membrane of the cell.

Cytokinins are compounds with a structure close to adenine. They are usually linked to an isopentenyl side chain. Kinetin was the first artificial cytokinin to be discovered. It was isolated from herring …

Nov 14, 2025 · Cytokinins are one of the classical five plant hormones and are adenine derivatives. Together with auxin, they play an important role in several plant processes such as cell division and...

Skoog, Strong and Miller proposed the definition of cytokinin. It is a compound which besides other activities induces cytokinesis, i.e., cell division in the various plant organs grown in a medium …

Jan 2, 2014 · We discuss the perception of cytokinin by the ER-localized histidine kinase receptors, the role of the AHPs in mediating the transfer of the phosphoryl group from the receptors to the response …

Apr 2, 2022 · Sixty years ago, the plant hormones cytokinins were first discovered. These play a major role in cell division and cell differentiation. They affect organogenesis in plant tissue cultures and …

Mar 2, 2022 · Cytokinin is a class of plant growth hormones that are active in promoting cell division, growth, differentiation, and other physiological processes. Examples are kinetin, zeatin, and benzyl …
