Higher cytokinin levels give Dutch tomatoes an edge
Greater secondary xylem development in Dutch cultivars may be the source of their lead over Japanese cultivars in fresh fruit weight.

The role of the TPS22 gene in selenium tolerance
Excess selenium (Se) is toxic to plants; however, relatively little information is known about the regulatory mechanism of plant Se tolerance. Jiang et al. report a novel role of the TPS22 (terpenoid synthase) gene in...

Tissue- and cell-specific cytokinin activity in poplar under drought
Climate change with increasing periods of drought is expected to reduce the yield of biomass crops such as poplars. To combat yield loss it is important to better understand the molecular mechanisms that control growth...

Melatonin and its relationship to plant hormones
Plant melatonin appears to be a multi-regulatory molecule, similar to those observed in animals, with many specific functions in plant physiology.

Carbon stores support efficient nitrate use during regrowth of perennial ryegrass
Plant regrowth in response to defoliation relies on efficient nitrogen use. Roche et al. find that remobilisation of water soluble carbohydrate stores in leaves of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is coordinated with...
Virulent Rhodococcus fascians maintains cotyledons as a sink tissue
Both pathogenic and epiphytic organisms obtain nutrients from host plants. Dhandapani et al. show the differential impact of an epiphytic (avirulent) strain and a pathogenic strain of the cytokinin-producing bacterium...
Should I fight or should I grow? Cytokinins in defence-growth trade-offs
Constitutive defence activation in plants leads to resistance to a broad-spectrum of pathogens, but also frequently to stunted growth and reduced seed sets; how do plants decide whether to defend against infection or to...
Phytohormone profiles and metabolism in cyanobacteria and algae
The majority of available data on phytohormone profiles and metabolism concerns vascular plants. Žižková et al. monitor the mechanisms by which two main groups of phytohormones, cytokinins and auxins, control...
Polar growth and the development of aquatic carnivorous plants
Cytokinin and auxin biosynthesis and distribution patterns have been studied intensively in many terrestrial plant species. Until now, no direct phytohormonal screening has been carried out in rootless, aquatic...
Cytokinins can trigger hypersensitive-like responses
Activating the gene ipt to produce high levels of cytokinins in tobacco is sufficient to trigger fast cell death without intervening chlorosis.
Cytokinins are implicated in keeping green kiwifruit green
Kiwifruit species that have either green flesh (Actinidia deliciosa ‘Haywood’) or gold flesh (A. chinensis ‘Hort 16A’) at harvest provide an interesting comparative system to investigate the mechanism of degreening in...
