To better understand cytokinin signaling in melon (Cucumis melo L.), one of the most
important fruit crops in the Cucurbitaceae family, we identified and characterized melon two …

Inflorescence development in cereals, including such important crops as rice, maize, and
wheat, directly affects grain number and size and is a key determinant of yield. Cytokinin …

Cytokinin glucosyltransferases (CGTs) are key enzymes of plants for regulating the level and
function of cytokinins. In a genomic identification of rice CGTs, 41 genes with the plant …

Background In higher plants, inflorescence architecture is an important agronomic trait
directly determining seed yield. However, little information is available on the regulatory …

Cross-talk between phytohormones and sugars is intensely involved in plant metabolism,
growth and regeneration. We documented alterations in cytokinin (CK) homeostasis in four …

Cytokinins regulate diverse aspects of plant growth and development, primarily through
modulation of gene expression. The cytokinin‐responsive transcriptome has been …

Hormone crosstalk is pivotal in plant–pathogen interactions. Here, we report on the
accumulation of cytokinins (CK) in rice seedlings after infection of blast fungus Magnaporthe …

The response regulator (RR) genes play a crucial function in the cytokinin signaling pathway
and in activating the downstream genes to respond to cytokinin in the two-component …

As a ubiquitous reaction, glucosylation controls the bioactivity of cytokinins in plant growth
and development. Here we show that genetic manipulation of zeatin‐O‐glucosylation …

Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) is a flavoenzyme, which irreversibly degrades the
cytokinins and plays an important role in plant growth and development. They have been …
