of the study is to find out their physic-chemical
properties, similarities and differences among all the
enzymes. However the function of all the eznzymes is
same, but their properties are explained below.
Material and Methods
The cytokinin dehydrogenase enzymes of rice, wheat
and maize were selected in this study due to its role in
high grain production in crops.
Sequence retrieval
The cytokinin dehydrogenase enzymes of
O.sativa
(japonica), A.thaliana (mouse-ear cress
) and
zea mays
(maize)
were used for this study. Their amino acid
sequences were retrived from uniprot (http://www.
uniprot.org/), which is given in Table 1.

o.sativa (indica)
A2XNV3
Catalyzes the oxidation of cytokinins, a family of N(6)-substituted
adenine derivatives that are plant hormones, where the substituent is
an isopentenyl group
