An experiment was done to see the effect of auxin: cytokinin ratios on morphogenesis can also be seen in crown gall tumors by mutation of the T-DNA of the Agrobacterium Ti plasmid,

I) Mutating the ipt gene (the tmr locus) of the Ti plasmid blocks zeatin biosynthesis in the infected cells

II) mutating either of the genes for auxin biosynthesis (tms locus)

Given some results about these above mutations ,

a) equal auxin to cytokinin ratio form undifferentiated callus tissue

b) high auxin:cytokinin ratio in the tumor cells causes the proliferation of roots instead of undifferentiated callus tissue

c) lowers the auxin:cytokinin ratio and stimulates the proliferation of shoots

What would be the result of these two mutation ?

For pro-proliferation signaling pathways to cause uncontrolled proliferation, as is seen in cancer, this p53 up-regulation must not occur, It is therefore not surprising that p53 is inactive in most human tumors through loss of p53 function itself, down-regulation of positive regulators (PR) of p53 or up-regulation of negative regulators (NR) of p53, these regulators are accordingly
