The phytohormone cytokinin is an important regulator of plant growth and
development; however, relatively few genes that mediate cytokinin responses
have been identified. Genome-wide analyses of Arabidopsis seedlings using the
approximately 8,300-element Affymetrix Arabidopsis GeneChips (Affymetrix,
Santa Clara, CA) to examine cytokinin-responsive genes were conducted,
revealing at least 30 genes whose steady-state level of mRNA was elevated and
at least 40 that were down-regulated at multiple time points after application
of cytokinin. The cytokinin up-regulated genes include the type-A Arabidopsis
response regulators (ARRs), which had been shown previously to be cytokinin
primary response genes, cytokinin oxidase, which encodes an enzyme that
degrades cytokinins, and several transcription factors. Cytokinin
down-regulated genes include several peroxidases and kinases and an E3
ubiquitin ligase. We identified a common sequence motif enriched in the
upstream regions of the most consistently cytokinin up-regulated genes. This
motif is highly similar to the optimal DNA-binding sites for ARR1/ARR2, type-B
ARRs that have been implicated in the transcriptional elevation of the type-A
ARRs. Additionally, genome-wide analyses of cytokinin receptor mutants
(wol/cre1) revealed large-scale changes in gene expression, including
down-regulation of the type-A ARRs and several meristem and cell cycle genes,
such as CycD3. Mutations in CRE1 reduced but did not eliminate the effect of
cytokinin on gene expression for a subset of cytokinin-responsive genes and
had little or no effect on others, suggesting functional redundancy among the
cytokinin receptors.
