Brief synopsis:
The phytohormone, cytokinin, regulates diverse growth and physiological processes in plants, including root development. My research findings show that cytokinin-dependent responses of Arabidopsis roots proceed via a novel pathway that involves the post-translational regulation of cytokinin signaling components. Using a combination of omics assays, data from a parallel research in rice reveals that cytokinin regulates transcriptional changes in root-expressed genes by altering the chromatin landscape near these genes.
