Abstract excerpt
Little is known concerning the mechanisms by which auxin and cytokinin exert their effects on proliferation and differentiation. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are major regulators of the eukaryotic cell cycle, thus they are assumed to control cell differentiation as well as proliferation in response to phytohormone signals. Here, we overexpressed rice R2 cDNA, which encodes a CDK-activating kinase, in tobacco...
