A Single Genetic Locus, Ckr1, Defines Arabidopsis Mutants in which Root Growth Is Resistant to Low Concentrations of Cytokinin

W Su et al. Plant Physiol. 1992 Aug.

Abstract

Arabidopsis mutants resistant to cytokinin (benzyladenine [BA]) have been isolated with the intent to find plants defective in cytokinin perception or response. At low concentrations, BA produces a "cytokinin root syndrome" in which primary root elongation is inhibited, but root hair elongation is stimulated. Five independent mutants that did not express this syndrome in the presence of BA were selected. All five mutants were recessive, and crosses between them indicated that they were in the same complementation group. The genetic locus represented by these mutations has been designated ckr1 and mapped to chromosome 5.
