Cytokinin signalling remains a central focus in plant biology due to its vital role in regulating cell division, meristem maintenance and overall plant architecture. Recent investigations have ...

Biologists have discovered how cytokinin activates stem cell division in plants. The mechanism by which the plant hormone cytokinin controls cell division has been discovered -- a breakthrough that ...

Cytokinin patterning, an important process in plant development, cannot happen via diffusion alone, researchers have discovered. While investigating a regulatory network in plant roots, they ...

Land plants—such as mosses, ferns and trees—are some of the most structurally complex photosynthesizing organisms on Earth.

6-Benzyladenine, also called 6-benzylaminopurine, is a synthetic cytokinin that stimulates cell division in plants. Among other actions, it spurs plant growth, sets blossoms, and improves fruit ...

Graph showing that a peak of cytokinin levels promotes MYB3R4 nuclear re-localisation at G2/M transition of the cell cycle. Only when inside the nucleus can MYB3R4 activate its target cell cycle gene ...

The term “witch’s broom” probably conjures up images of Harry Potter playing quidditch or the Wicked Witch of the West berating Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz.” But in the plant world, it’s something ...

The mechanism by which the plant hormone cytokinin controls cell division has been discovered - a breakthrough that significantly improves our understanding of how plants grow. Cell division is ...
