TLDR
Kinetin stimulates protein synthesis in mitochondria isolated from 48-hr etiolated seedlings of Vigna sinensis (Linn.) Savi and shows a synergistic effect with indole-3-acetic acid in regard to amino acid incorporation.

The Role of Phytohormones (Cytokinins) in Chloroplast Development

TL;DR: Although indications are presented that the promotion of chloroplast development by cytokinins is closely connected with a stimulation of the gene expression program for plastogenesis, other sites of hormone action cannot be excluded and are discussed in the last part of the review.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Molecular effects of hormone treatment on tissue.

M. Zeroni, +1 more
TL;DR: Exogenous application of hormones is one of the most common methods in research into the mode of action of such substances, but it is rarely easy and often impossible to achieve with plant material because any given hormone may be produced in more than one location within the plant.

Molecular and subcellular aspects of hormone action.

TL;DR: Throughout this chapter the terms hormone and growth regulator will be used interchangeably to cover both natural and synthetic compounds.

Comparison of the effects of cytokinins on enzyme development in different cell compartments of the shoot organs of rye seedlings

TL;DR: Variation in cytokinin supply has different effects on protein formation and enzyme development in primary leaves and coleoptiles of rye seedlings and subsequent addition of kinetin enhances the decay of protein and most of the enzyme activities determined and thus, in a similar way to the effect of light, seems to promote the senescence of the co-optiles.

The mechanism of action of plant growth substances: the role of nuclear RNA in growth substance action.

TL;DR: The induced stimulation of nuclear RNA synthesis is abolished by actinomycin D but can be restored partially or completely by relatively higher concentrations of the growth substances.

The mechanism of action of plant growth substances: Growth substance stimulation of amino acid incorporation into nuclear protein

TL;DR: Aluxin-induced stimulation of amino acid incorporation into protein of pea internodes is localised largely in the nucleus soon after auxin application, and can be restored considerably by higher concentrations of the growth substances.

Investigation of purinelike compounds in immature maize kernels, germinating barley seeds, and yeast☆

TL;DR: It is suggested that several kinins occur naturally in plants since kinetin and naturally occurring kinins were effective in maintaining the detached green leaves turgid and green but were ineffective in preserving the turgidity of the detached albino leaves; therefore, chloroplast are in some way involved in the response of detached leaves to kinins.
