BACKGROUND: Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious fungal disease of crop plants due to substantial yield reduction and production of mycotoxins in the infected grains. The breeding progress in increasing resistance with maintaining a high yield is not possible without a thoroug...
Cytokinin (CK) in plants regulates both developmental processes and adaptation to environmental stress. Arabidopsis histidine phosphotransfer ahp2,3,5 and type-B response regulator arr1,10,12 triple mutants are almost completely defective in CK signaling, and the ahp2,3,5
