Abstract

This article is focused on the modalities of reception of cytokinins which remain largely unknown. It summarizes the main steps of the different protocols used to study cytokinin‐binding proteins (CBPs). We place emphasis on the significance and specificity of the detection according to the properties of the probes used: radioactive or photoreactive cytokinins, fluorescent anticytokinins, anti‐idiotype antibodies. The purification procedures are also examined. The cellular localisation and the putative physiological roles of the numerous and different CBPs found are considered. The interest of genetic and molecular studies is discussed.
