* Here, cytokinin-induced nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis and cytokinin responses were investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana wild type and mutants defective in NO biosynthesis or cytokinin signaling components. * NO release from seedlings was quantified by a fluorometric method and, by microscopy,

Cytokinin is an indispensable phytohormone responsible for physiological processes ranging from root development to leaf senescence. The term "cytokinin" refers to several dozen adenine-derived compounds occurring naturally in plants. Cytokinins (CKs) can be divided into various classes

To investigate the contribution of farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPS) to the overall control of the mevalonic acid pathway in plants, we have generated transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana overexpressing the Arabidopsis FPS1S isoform. Despite high levels of FPS activity in transgenic plants (8- to

This study investigates the consequences of endogenously enhanced biosynthesis of the plant hormone cytokinin in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Transcriptional control of the bacterial ipt gene by the Drosophila melanogaster hsp70 promoter enabled temperature-dependent increased cytokinin

A simple and rapid method was developed for the determination of three free cytokinins, namely, N(6)-(Δ(2)-isopentenyl)adenine, zeatin, and dihydrozeatin, in plants using TurboFlow on-line cleanup liquid chromatography combined with hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry. The

We describe a new enzymatic reaction method for the preparation of the radioisotope-labeled cytokinins isopentenyladenine (iP), trans-zeatin (tZ), and their ribosides. The method is based on the three enzyme activities of an adenylate isopentenyltransferase (IPT; EC 2.5.1.27) from Arabidopsis

At present, nanoparticles have been more and more used in a wide range of areas. However, very little is known about the mechanisms of their impact on plants, as both positive and negative effects have been reported. As plant interactions with the environment are mediated by plant hormones, complex

The CRE1/AHK4 cytokinin receptor is an important component of plants' hormone signaling systems, and compounds that can alter its activity have potential utility for studying the receptor's functions and/or developing new plant growth regulators. A high throughput method was developed for screening

In order to isolate cytokinin-binding proteins (CBPs), we have developed new affinity probes constituted of a cytokinin such as zeatin riboside ([9R]Z) conjugated to a carrier protein. These probes were used for detecting CBPs in an ELISA procedure. The efficiency of the cytokinin conjugate in

gamma-Radiation-induced tumors of Arabidopsis thaliana L. have been produced as a novel approach to isolation of genes that regulate plant development. Tumors excised from irradiated plants are hormone autonomous in culture and have been maintained on hormone-free medium for up to 4 years. Five

To date, almost no information is available in roots and shoots of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana about the hierarchic relationship between metal accumulation, phytohormone levels, and glutathione/phytochelatin content, and how this relation affects root development. For this purpose, specific

A method was developed for analysing the biosynthetic rate of the cytokinin class of plant hormones. Transgenic, cytokinin-overproducing Arabidopsis thaliana plants were incubated in liquid culture media enriched with 30% deuterium oxide, and incorporation into the different parts of the cytokinin

Arabidopsis thaliana L. is a model plant but little information is available about morphological root changes as part of a phytohormonal common response against both biotic and abiotic stressors. For this purpose, two-week-old Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with 10 µM CdSO4 or infected with CMV.

To better understand the role of ethylene signaling in plant stress tolerance, salt-induced changes in gene expression levels of ethylene biosynthesis, perception and signaling genes were measured in Arabidopsis thaliana plants exposed to 15 days of salinity. Among the genes analyzed, EIN3 showed

Arabidopsis thaliana has three membrane-located cytokinin receptors (AHK2, AHK3 and CRE1/AHK4), which are sensor histidine kinases containing a ligand-binding CHASE domain. Despite their structural similarity the role of these receptors differs in planta. Here we have explored which parameters
