RESUMO

The plant hormones auxin and cytokinin are crucial for plant development, since they control cell division, expansion and differentiation, which regulate developmental processes starting from embryo formation to fruit ripening and senescence. Auxins and cytokinins usually regulate the same physiological responses, suggesting multiple mechanisms of interaction between these hormones. In this work, a model to study auxin and cytokinin interaction in the control of plant development is proposed, based on mutants, transgenic lines and double mutants with alterations on the auxin and cytokinin sensitivity or metabolism. The bushy root (brt) mutant was characterized as having low cytokinin sensitivity and suggested a relevant function to cytokinin in the seed development and apical dominance in tomato. The potato leaf (c) and entire (e) mutants were introgressed in the Micro-Tom background, characterized and used to check how they affect the auxin sensitivity and the plant development. The responses from these mutants were compared to MT and diageotropica (dgt), which is a low sensitive auxin mutant, and also compared to c dgt and dgt e double mutants. The c mutation did not alter the auxin sensitivity and was only related to leaf architecture. The e mutant seemed to be more sensitive to auxin in the in vitro root induction and parthenocarpy. The double mutant dgt e showed an additive phenotype, suggesting that DGT and E act in parallel pathways controlling auxin sensitivity. Transgenic lines were generated overexpressing the cytokinin oxidase from Arabidopsis (35S:AtCKX2), which renders plants with low endogenous cytokinin levels. Transgenic lines (MT CKX2 and dgt CKX2) were compared to MT, brt, dgt and brt dgt. Most of the traits related to vegetative development and all traits related to reproductive development were linked to the effect of auxin and cytokinin absolute levels, probably reflecting to the effect of these hormones in cell division and expansion. Apical dominance and in vitro morphogenesis (shoot and root formation) were linked to the auxin-to-cytokinin ratio, since these processes are well known to be regulated by the effect of these two hormones in cell differentiation
