Cytokinin Sensing in Bacteria

摘要: Although it has long been known that bacteria detect and react to plant chemicals establish an interaction, the cellular signaling mechanisms involved in these perception processes have hitherto remained obscure. Some exciting recent advances field described, for first time, how some phytopathogenic sense host hormones, cytokinins. These discoveries not only advance understanding of cell circuitries engaged cytokinin sensing non-plant organisms, but also increase our knowledge broad role ancient molecules regulating intra- interspecific communications.
