Involvement of membrane cytokinin receptors in the regulation of chloroplast genome transcription
Abstract
By means of run-on transcription assay we studied the role of membrane receptors of cytokinin in the regulation of the chloroplast genes transcription in Arabidopsis thaliana. The results obtained showed differential regulation of the chloroplast genome transcription by cytokinin and the leading role of AHK3 in this process.
