Abstract in another language
The significance of cytokinins for the progression of the cell cycle is well known. Cytokinins contribute to the control of the expression of D-cyclins and other cell cycle genes, but knowledge as to how they affect the progression of the cell cycle is still limited. Highly synchronized tobacco BY-2 cells with clearly defined cell cycle stages were employed to determine cytokinin patterns throughout the entire cycle in detail. Concentrations of trans-zeatin and of some other cytokinins oscillated during the course of the cell cycle, increasing substantially at all four phase transitions and decreasing again to a minimum value during the course of each subsequent phase. Addition of exogenous cytokinins or inhibition of cytokinin biosynthesis promoted the progression of the cell cycle when the effects of these manipulations intensified the endogenous fluctuations, whereas the progression of the cycle was retarded when the amplitude of the fluctuations was decreased. The results show that the attainment of low concentrations of cytokinins is as important as are the transient increases in concentration for a controlled progression from one phase of the cell cycle to the next. Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase activity also showed fluctuations during the course of the cell cycle, the timing of which could at least partly explain the oscillations of the cytokinin levels. The activities of the enzyme were sufficient to account for the rates of cytokinin disappearance observed subsequent to a phase transition.
