#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
Given below are few statements regarding the cytokinin
signalling pathway;
a) Cytokinin inhibits the activation of a Cdc25- like
phosphatase, whose role is to remove an inhibitory phosphate group from the
Cdc2 kinase
b) Cytokinin oxidase irreversibly inactivates cytokinins,
and it could be important in regulating or limiting cytokinin effects
c) Cytokinin signal transduction pathway is completed on
multiple places such as ER, Cytosol and Nucleus
d) Elevation of endogenous cytokinin levels in transgenic
Arabidopsis results in overexpression of the KNOTTED homeobox transcription
factor homologs KNAT1 and STM—genes
Which of the following combinations from the given above statements is correct?

In addition to the free bases, which are the only active
forms, active cytokinin levels are decreased through;
a) Addition of sugar molecule to the 3, 7, or 9 nitrogen of
the purine ring, called glycosylation-mediated inactivation
b) cis-trans isomerisation of zeatin
c) Irreversible cleavage by cytokinin oxidases.
Which of the following is incorrect?
