Transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings harboring pTA7001 were grown for 18 days on MGRL-agar plates, and then subjected to dexamethasone (+DEX) or mock (-DEX) treatment. After 0, 6, and 12 h, the seedlings were harvested, and CK contents were measured. tZ, trans-zeatin; tZR, tZ riboside; tZRMP, tZR 5'-monophosphate; cZ, cis-zeatin; cZR, cZ riboside; cZRMP, cZR 5'-monophosphate; DZ, dihydrozeatin; DZR, DZ riboside; DZRMP, DZR 5'-monophosphate; iP, isopentenyladenine; iPR, iP riboside; iPRMP, iPR 5'-monophosphate; tZ7G, tZ-7-N-glucoside; tZOG, tZ-O-glucoside; tZ9G, tZ-9-N-glucoside; tZROG, tZR-O-glucoside; DZ9G, DZ-9-N-glucoside; iP7G, iP-7-N-glucoside; iP9G, iP-9-N-glucoside. Means ± SD (n = 3). ND, not detected.
