title: Q&A: How do plants respond to cytokinins and what is their importance?
abstract: Cytokinins comprise a family of signaling molecules essential for regulating the growth and development of plants, acting both locally and at a distance. Although much is known about their biosynthesis and transport, important open questions remain.
