Abstract excerpt
Cytokinins are a class of phytohormones that play a critical role in plant growth and development. sob5-D, an activation-tagging mutant, shows phenotypes typical of transgenic plants expressing the Agrobacterium tumefaciens isopentenyltransferase (ipt) gene that encodes the enzyme catalyzing the first step of cytokinin biosynthesis. The sob5-D mutant phenotypes are caused by over-expression of a novel gene, SOB5....
