Control of cytokinin and auxin homeostasis in cyanobacteria and algae.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The metabolism of cytokinins (CKs) and auxins in vascular plants is relatively well understood, but data concerning their metabolic pathways in non-vascular plants are still rather rare. With the aim of filling this gap, 20 representatives of taxonomically major lineages of cyanobacteria and algae from Cyanophyceae, Xanthophyceae, Eustigmatophyceae, Porphyridiophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Ulvophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, Zygnematophyceae and Klebsormidiophyceae were analysed for endogenous profiles of CKs and auxins and some of them were used for studies of the metabolic fate of exogenously applied radiolabelled CK, [³H]trans-zeatin (transZ) and auxin ([³H]indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)), and the dynamics of endogenous CK and auxin pools during algal
