Article Synopsis
- Cytokinins play a role in chloroplast differentiation and functioning, with the cytokinin-binding protein (CBP70) found in various plastids of etiolated maize seedlings.
- Immunocytochemical and electron microscopy studies reveal CBP70's presence in amyloplasts and etioplasts, indicating its involvement in the development of plastid structures, particularly linked to membrane differentiation.
- CBP70 also functions as a transcription elongation factor that activates transcription in response to cytokinins, suggesting its key role in regulating plastid biogenesis.
