The binding of kinetin to plant ribosomes.
TL;DR: The synthetic cytokinins kinetin and 6-benzylaminopurine exhibit equilibrium-type binding to purified chinese-cabbage leaf ribosomes and a positive correlation between the extent of binding and the biological effect of various cytokinin analogues was demonstrated.
Book ChapterDOI
On the Significance of Cytokinin Binding to Plant Ribosomes
TL;DR: The rapidity of the response to cytokinin in plastids and mitochondria (lag period only a few minutes) suggests that the hormone may promote protein synthesis in a direct way, possibly by interaction with the ribosome.
