1. Cytokinins are plant hormones that promote cell division. The first was discovered in 1955 and is called kinetin, derived from degraded herring sperm DNA.
2. Cytokinins are synthesized primarily in root apical meristems but also other growing tissues. They move up through the xylem while auxin moves down.
3. In Arabidopsis, cytokinin signaling involves receptors that phosphorylate histidine phosphotransfer proteins, leading to phosphorylation of ARR transcription factors and expression of genes causing cytokinin responses.
Presentation for Plant Physiology. I was in charge of creating and designing the presentation as well as formating the images and information. Our projec won our class competition in regards to overall look and presentation.
Plant hormones are naturally occurring organic substances that affect physiological processes. There are five major groups of plant hormones, such as auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene. In this presentation deals with Cytokinins with its biosynthesis, transport, pathways and physiological effects.
The biosynthesis of the main auxin in plants (indole-3-acetic acid [IAA]) has been elucidated recently and is thought to involve the sequential conversion of Trp to indole-3-pyruvic acid to IAA. However, the pathway leading to a less well studied auxin, phenylacetic acid (PAA), remains unclear. Here, we present evidence from metabolism experiments that PAA is synthesized from the amino acid Phe, via phenylpyruvate. In pea (Pisum sativum), the reverse reaction, phenylpyruvate to Phe, is also demonstrated. However, despite similarities between the pathways leading to IAA and PAA, evidence from mutants in pea and maize (Zea mays) indicate that IAA biosynthetic enzymes are not the main enzymes for PAA biosynthesis. Instead, we identified a putative aromatic aminotransferase (PsArAT) from pea that may function in the PAA synthesis pathway.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. ntroduction
• Cytokinin (CK) are plant growth hormones which are basic
in nature, either amino purine or phenyl urea derivatives,
that promote cytokinesis (= cell division) either alone or in
conjunction with auxin.
• The first cytokinin was discovered from degraded
autoclaved Herring sperm DNA by Miller 1955.It is called
kinetin (6-furfuryl amino-purine).
• Kinetin does not occur naturally. It is a synthetic hormone.
• The first natural cytokinin was obtained from unripe maize
grain known as zeatin (6-hydroxy 3-methyl trans 2-butenyl
amino-purine). It also occurs in coconut milk.
(6-hydroxy 3-methyl
trans 2-butenyl
amino-purine)
2. In 1931, an Austrian plant physiologist. G. Haberlandt,
discovered that soluble substances present in phloem tissues
could cause cell division in parenchyma cells of wounded potato.
In 1954, C. O. Miller found that the aged DNA from sperms
stimulates cell division in pith cells from tobacco tissue
cultures, and the active part of DNA was found to be kinetin.
3. • Jablonski & Skoog (1954) - compounds in
vascular tissues promote cell division
Naturally occurring Cytokinin Sir Skoog
4. ➢ Cytokinin extracted from coconut milk, Tomato juice
➢ flowers and fruits of pear, plum
➢ Cambium tissues of Eucalyptus, Nicotina
➢ Immature fruits of Zea Mays, Musa sp.
➢ Root exudates of Sunflower
➢ Ribosylzeatin,
➢ Zeatin,
➢ Dihydrozeatin.
Naturally occuring Cytokinin
Cytokinin found in plants
Dihydrozeatin
Zeatin
7. The major forms of cytokinin differ
in different plant species. For
example in rice the isoprenoid
cytokinin cis zeatin is the major
form, whereas in Arabidopsis it is
the trans-zeatin and iP forms that
predominate.
Common Type of
Cytokinin
8. Biosynthesis location
• Roots seem to be the major source of
cytokinin synthesis. From roots the cytokinin
pass upwardly through xylem.
• Some cytokinin synthesis also takes place in
other areas where cell divisions are occurring
like endosperm region of seeds, growing
embryos and developing seeds, young fruits,
developing shoots buds, etc.
•Coconut milk is a rich source of cytokinin.
9. • Generated mostly in the root apical meristems but also found in:
➢ Root cap cells
➢ Ovules
➢ Phloem cells
➢ Leaf axils
➢ Tips of young inflorescences
➢ Fruit
➢ Seeds
Biosynthesis
10. Biosynthesis
• Other organisms make cytokinin to
influence the plant for their own
benefit
➢ Bacteria
➢ Fungi
➢ Insects.
➢ Nematodes
11. • Cytokinins move up the plant
through the xylem
• By contrast, auxin moves from
top down.
• Some signal in the shoot can
also induce cytokinin transport
from the root (Beveridge 2000).
TRANSPORT
12. ATP/ADP
DMAPP(Dimethyl Allyl
Phosphate)
iPDP, or iPTP
(isopentenyladenosine-5’-
monophosphate)
Zeatin
The first committed step in cytokinin biosynthesis is the
addition of the isopentenyl side chain from DMAPP to
an adenosine moiety. The plant and bacterial IPT
enzymes differ in the adenosine substrate used; the
plant enzyme appears to utilize both ADP and ATP, and
the bacterial enzyme utilizes AMP. The products of
these reactions (iPMP, IPDP, or IPTP) are converted to
zeatin by an unidentified hydroxylase. The various
phosphorylated forms can be interconverted and free
trans-Zeatin can be formed from the riboside by
enzymes of general purine metabolism. Trans-Zeatin
can be metabolized in various ways
Biosynthesis
14. Cytokinin are rapidly metabolized by cytokinin oxidase, thereby
inactivating cytokinin's
Activity of Cytokinin oxidase induced by high cytokinin concentrations.
Metabolism
Of
Cytokinin
15. ➢ The cytokinin receptors are encoded by a multigene
family.
➢ Receptor- CRE1(CYTOKININ RESPONSE 1),contain a
conserved extra-cellular Cytokinin-binding domain called
the CHASE domain.
➢ Receptor in Arabidopsis for CK signaling- AHKs
(AHK2,AHK3 and AHK4) /Arabidopsis hybrid kinase
➢ CHASE domain bind to Cytokinin in pH dependent
manner.
➢ (AHP) Histidine phosphotransfer protein Hpt proteins are
predicted to mediate the phosphotransfer between
sensor kinases and response regulators.
CYTOKININS SIGNALING PATHWAY
16.
17. 1. Cytokinin binds to CRE1, which is likely to occur as a
dimer. Cytokinin binds to an extracellular portion of CRE1
called the CHASE domain.Two other hybrid sensor
kinases (AHK2 and AHK3) containing a CHASE domain are
also likely to act as cytokinin receptors in Arabidopsis.
2. Cytokinin binding to these receptors activates their
histidine kinase activity. The phosphate is transferred to
an asparate residue (D) on the fused receiver domains.
3. The phosphate is then transferred to a conserved
histidine present in an AHP protein
STEPS -
18. 4. Phosphorylation causes the AHP protein to move into
the nucleus, where it transfers the phosphate to an
asparate residue located within the receiver domain of a
type-B ARR
5. The phosphorylation of the type-B ARR activates the
output domain to induce transcription of genes encoding
type-A ARRs.
6. The type-A ARRs are likely also to be phosphorylated
by the AHP proteins.
7. The phosphorylated type-A ARRS interact with various
effectors to mediate the changes in cell function
appropriate to cytokinin (indicated in the model as
"cytokinin responses").
