High impact information on ATIPT8

  • A gain-of-function mutation in the PGA22 locus resulted in typical cytokinin responses [1].
  • Plants of the pga22 mutant accumulated at remarkably higher levels of isopentenyladenosine-5'-monophosphate and isopentenyladenosine when analyzed by mass spectrometry, suggesting that AtIPT8/PGA22 is a functional IPT that may direct the biosynthesis of cytokinins in planta via an isopentenyladenosine-5'-monophosphate-dependent pathway [1].
