Mutated genes
Mutated Gene 1 Locus name AT2G01830 Alias CRE1/AHK4 Organism Arabidopsis thaliana Description Histidine kinase: cytokinin-binding receptor that transduces cytokinin signals across the plasma membrane.
Mutated Gene 2 Locus name AT5G35750 Alias AHK2 Organism Arabidopsis thaliana Description Encodes histidine kinase AHK2.
Mutated Gene 3 Locus name AT1G27320 Alias AHK3/ORE12 Organism Arabidopsis thaliana Description Encodes a histidine kinases, a cytokinin receptor that controls cytokinin-mediated leaf longevity through a specific phosphorylation of the response regulator, ARR2.
