Evolution of cytokinin biosynthesis and degradation.

abstract：:Although plants are photoautotrophic organisms, they are composed of many heterotrophic tissue systems that must import sugars and amino acids in a process known as assimilate partitioning. While the general features of assimilate partitioning were well described by the early 1980s, little was known about the various ...
