Cytokinins participate in local and long-distance signalling, with the same transport mechanism as purines and nucleosides. [5] Typically, cytokinins are transported in the xylem. [2] Cytokinins act in concert with auxin, another plant growth hormone. The two are complementary, [6] [7] having generally opposite effects. [2]
Auxin also stimulates cell division if cytokinins are present. When auxin and cytokinin are applied to callus, rooting can be generated with higher auxin to cytokinin ratios, shoot growth is induced by lower auxin to cytokinin ratios, and a callus is formed with intermediate ratios, with the exact threshold ratios depending on the species and ...
A cytokinin signaling and response regulator protein is a plant protein that is involved in a two step cytokinin signaling and response regulation pathway.. The current model of cytokinin signaling and response regulation shows that it works as a multi-step phosphorelay two-component signaling system. [1]
Nitric oxide interactions have been found within signaling pathways of plant hormones such as auxin, [67] ethylene, [63] [68] [69] Abscisic acid [61] and cytokinin. [70] Atmospheric nitric oxide can enter the stomates of most vascular species, and can have effects ranging from leaf blemishing, to stunting of growth, to necrosis. [71]
Cytokinins and auxins often work together, and the ratios of these two groups of plant hormones affect most major growth periods during a plant's lifetime. Cytokinins counter the apical dominance induced by auxins; in conjunction with ethylene, they promote abscission of leaves, flower parts, and fruits.
A 2015 experiment showed that a high-tryptophan diet can decrease serum levels of IAA in mice, but that in humans, protein consumption has no reliably predictable effect on plasma IAA levels. [7] Human cells have been known to produce IAA in vitro since the 1950s, [8] and the critical biosynthesis gene IL4I1 has been identified. [9] [10]
Right: auxin transport from leaves to roots in Arabidopsis thaliana A hormone (from the Greek participle ὁρμῶν , "setting in motion") is a class of signaling molecules in multicellular organisms that are sent to distant organs or tissues by complex biological processes to regulate physiology and behavior .

The auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) regulates concentration of GA 1 in elongating internodes in peas. [37] Removal of IAA by removal of the apical bud, the auxin source, reduces the concentration of GA 1, and reintroduction of IAA reverses these effects to increase the concentration of GA 1. [37] This has also been observed in tobacco plants. [38]
