text: Cell production and differentiation for the acquisition of specific functions
are key features of living systems. The dynamic network of cellular microtubules
provides the necessary platform to accommodate processes associated with the transition
of cells through the individual phases of cytogenesis. Here, we show that the
plant hormone cytokinin fine‐tunes the activity of the microtubular cytoskeleton
during cell differentiation and counteracts microtubular rearrangements driven
by the hormone auxin. The endogenous upward gradient of cytokinin activity along
the longitudinal growth axis in Arabidopsis thaliana roots correlates with robust
rearrangements of the microtubule cytoskeleton in epidermal cells progressing
from the proliferative to the differentiation stage. Controlled increases in cytokinin
activity result in premature re‐organization of the microtubule network from transversal
to an oblique disposition in cells prior to their differentiation, whereas attenuated
hormone perception delays cytoskeleton conversion into a configuration typical
for differentiated cells. Intriguingly, cytokinin can interfere with microtubules
also in animal cells, such as leukocytes, suggesting that a cytokinin‐sensitive
control pathway for the microtubular cytoskeleton may be at least partially conserved
between plant and animal cells.
