Abstracts

EN

Cytokinins are plant hormones that control not only the proliferation and differentiation of plant, but they also play a role of signaling molecules in defense mechanisms activated at different stress conditions. The role of cytokinins in the regulation of plant pathogenesis-related proteins (PR) expression is discussed. The recent data on characterisation of cytokinin-specific binding proteins (CSBP) are presented.
