The main site of cytokinin perception in plant cells is thought to be the endoplasmic reticulum where most cytokinin receptors localise. Here via the use of bioactive probes that cannot enter plant cells and super-resolution microscopy, Antoniadi et al. show that cytokinin can also be perceived at the plasma membrane.
