Plant membrane assays with cytokinin receptors underpin the unique role of free cytokinin bases as biologically active ligands

Cytokinin receptors studied in a novel plant assay system recognize cytokinin ribosides poorly, unlike cytokinin bases. Molecular modelling explained this receptor feature. Some receptors were suggested to function as pH sensors.
