1Corresponding author.
Cytokinin oxidase activity was demonstrated in a 4080% ammonium sulphate cut of total proteins from soybean cotyledonary callus. The cytokinin-active di-substituted urea, thidiazuron (TDZ) inhibited cytokinin oxidase activity by a mixed, predominantly uncompetitive mechanism. This result is discussed as one of several possible modes of action of phenylurea-type cytokinins, which represent a problem in cytokinin structure-activity relationships.
