Cytokinin is an essential regulator of numerous plant growth and developmental processes. However, less is known about the mechanisms of cytokinin-regulated floral development. In the present study, we found that flower-specific elevation of cytokinin through transgenic expression of an Arabidopsis ATP/ADP isopentenyltransferase 4 (AtIPT4) gene under the control of the APETALA1 (AP1) promoter lead to floral developmental alterations. These changes included promotion of the number of flowers and ...[more]
