Fig. 7. Model of the cytokinin-dependent regulation of vegetative phase change.

Fig. 7

The CK receptors AHK2 and AHK3 as well as the type-B response regulators ARR1, ARR10, and ARR12 are activated mainly by tZ. Activation of CK signaling in the shoot results in an increase of miR172 abundance. MiRNA activation may be achieved directly by type-B ARRs or involve co-action of SPLs. TOE1 and TOE2 are repressed posttranscriptionally upon miR172 increment, enabling the transition from the juvenile to the adult vegetative phase.
