Earlier studies of calli with a higher-than-normal cytokinin content indicate that overproduction of cytokinin by the culture tissues is a possible explanation for this acquired cytokinin independence.
Increased levels of expression of the cytokinin receptor CRE1, as well as altered levels of expression of several other genes involved in cytokinin signaling, indicated that naturally acquired deregulation of cytokinin-signaling components could play a previously unrecognized role in habituation.
Up-regulation of several cytokinin oxidases, downregulation of several known cytokinin-inducible genes, and a lack of regulation of the cytokinin synthases indicated that increases in hormone concentration may not be required for habituation.

In other studies, it was found that both cytokinin and light affect many of the same developmental processes in Arabidopsis, such as inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, and stimulation of cotyledon opening and enlargement.

 CYTOKININ-REGULATED MRNA STABILITY IN SOYBEAN CELLS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
INVESTIGATOR: Crowell, D. The objectives of this project are: to characterize cytokinin-induced stabilization of the soybean Cim1 mRNA in vivo and in vitro, and to identify Cim1 sequences that are necessary for mRNA stabilization in response to cytokinin.
The mechanism by which the plant growth factor cytokinin stimulates the accumulation of the soybean Cim1 mRNA was examined in Fiscal Year 1996.
Previously, we demonstrated that cytokinin-induced accumulation of the Cim1 mRNA was caused, in least in part, by decreased degradation of the mRNA and that accumulation was dependent on protein dephosphorylation.
