Abstract The biosynthetic origin of cytokinins (CKs) in plants has been debated ever since the recognition of CKs as plant hormones. Although several possible biosynthetic pathways have been suggested, none of the data published to date are conclusive. The enzymes involved in CK biosynthesis have not yet been purified and characterized in detail, nor have plant genes encoding CK biosynthetic enzymes been identified.
