Almost six decades of studies explained many aspects of cytokinin complex metabolism, such as, biogenesis, degradation, signal perception and interaction with other phytohormones (mainly with auxins). A dual character of cytokinins' action on the nuclear genes (activation and repression) has been explained by recognition of the two types on nuclear receptors, which ensure a precise mechanism of self-control. Cytokinins promote the process of photosynthesis at different levels of plant- and cellular organization (development of leaves and plastids, influence on the photosynthetic proteins, activation of photosynthetic genes, etc.). An anti-senescing action of these hormones has been recently attributed to the activation of intra-cellular invertase, which suppress floem loading and change the sink-source pattern of the leaf.

Drought is a persistent and serious threat to crop yield and quality. The identification and functional characterization of drought tolerance-related genes is thus vital for efforts to support the genetic improvement of drought-tolerant crops. Barley is highly adaptable and renowned for its robust stress resistance, making it an ideal subject for efforts to explore genes related to drought tolerance.

Plant two-component system (TCS) is crucial for phytohormone signalling, stress response, and circadian rhythms, yet the precise role of most of the family members in rice remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the function of OsPHP1, a pseudo-histidine phosphotransfer protein in rice, using a functional genomics approach. OsPHP1 is localised in the nucleus and cytosol, and it exhibits strong interactions with all sensory histidine kinase proteins (OsHK1-6) and cytokinin catabolism genes.

Agroforestry intercropping is an effective way to optimize land use and ensure food security. However, the physiological mechanism by which the shading of dominant plants inhibits the yield of non-dominant plants in this mode remains to be investigated. A two-year location experiment of walnut-winter wheat intercrop combined with exogenous 6-benzyladenine (6-BA, the first synthetic cytokinin) treatment was conducted to reveal the mechanism of 6-BA in inhibiting wheat growth and yield formation under shade stress by measuring the photosynthetic characteristics, antioxidant capacity, hormone homeostasis of wheat flag leaves and yield.

Plant stems grow towards the incident light in response to unilateral blue light to optimize photosynthesis. However, our findings reveal that unilateral high-intensity blue light (HBL) triggers backlit lodging in etiolated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum ) hypocotyls when they are pulled approximately 1.5cm from the soil.

Plant somatic embryogenesis encompasses somatic cells switch into embryogenic cells that can later produce somatic embryos with the ability to produce plantlets. Previously, we defined culture settings for the somatic embryogenesis process of that comprise adequate plantlets with auxin plus cytokinin followed by cut-leaf explant cultivation with cytokinin, producing embryos with the ability to regenerate plantlets. Here, we confirmed that cultivating cut-leaf explants with cytokinin is sufficient to promote somatic embryos proliferation and the high yield of somatic embryos in the protocol requires adequate plantlets with auxin plus cytokinin.
