Decoy for cytokinin Hormone signalling is regulated in multiple ways. Now researchers in Molecular Plant show a new way: using a decoy to regulate cytokinin signalling. The use of a decoy in the form of non-functioning receptors is known strategy in mammalian cells. But in plants this was up till now unknown. The researchers stumbledContinue reading “Decoy for cytokinin”

Hormonal influence on root growth
Hormonal influence on root growth For a plant a good set of roots is of great importance. Not surprising, lots of hormones have a stake in organizing this. Now a group of international researchers show that one of those hormones, cytokinin, is regulating the production of another, ethylene. A plant regulates the growth of itsContinue reading “Hormonal influence on root growth”
