Cytokinins are hormones that regulate cell division and development. As a result
of a lack of specific mutants and biochemical tools, it has not been possible to
study the consequences of cytokinin deficiency. Cytokinin-deficient plants are expected
to yield information about processes in which cytokinins are limiting and that, therefore,
they might regulate. We have engineered transgenic Arabidopsis plants that overexpress
individually six different members of the cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (AtCKX
) gene family and have undertaken a detailed phenotypic analysis. Transgenic
plants had increased cytokinin breakdown (30 to 45% of wild-type cytokinin content)
and reduced expression of the cytokinin reporter gene ARR5:GUS
( -glucuronidase). Cytokinin deficiency resulted in diminished activity of the
vegetative and floral shoot apical meristems and leaf primordia, indicating an absolute
requirement for the hormone. By contrast, cytokinins are negative regulators of root
growth and lateral root formation. We show that the increased growth of the primary
root is linked to an enhanced meristematic cell number, suggesting that cytokinins
control the exit of cells from the root meristem. Different AtCKX-green fluorescent
protein fusion proteins were localized to the vacuoles or the endoplasmic reticulum
and possibly to the extracellular space, indicating that subcellular compartmentation
plays an important role in cytokinin biology. Analyses of promoter:GUS fusion
genes showed differential expression of AtCKX genes during plant development,
the activity being confined predominantly to zones of active growth. Our results
are consistent with the hypothesis that cytokinins have central, but opposite, regulatory
functions in root and shoot meristems and indicate that a fine-tuned control of catabolism
plays an important role in ensuring the proper regulation of cytokinin functions.
