Words similar to cytokinin
Example sentences for: cytokinin
How can you use “cytokinin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Long ago, plant physiologists noted the apparent antagonistic interactions between some of the phytohormones, such as between auxin and cytokinin in the regulation of root–shoot differentiation and between GA and ABA in germination.
This group includes auxin, cytokinin, the gibberellins (GAs), abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, the brassinosteroids (BRs), and jasmonic acid (JA), each of which acts at low concentrations to regulate many aspects of plant growth and development.
Cytokinin signaling appears to largely follow this paradigm (Kakimoto 2003).
Ethylene and cytokinin are both perceived by receptors sharing similarity to bacterial two-component regulators.
Well-studied examples include the promotion of fruit ripening by ethylene, regulation of the cell cycle by auxin and cytokinin, induction of seed germination and stem elongation by GA, and the maintenance of seed dormancy by ABA.
