Cytokinins are N6-substituted adenine derivatives that play diverse roles in plant growth and development, including meristem function, leaf senescence, sink/source distribution, vascular development and (a)biotic stress responses (1). Dirigent proteins (DIRs) have been found to mediate regio- and stereo-specific monolignol coupling during formation of lignans that might serve as (a)biotic stress-delimiting plant ‘biological weapons’ (2). The presence of DIR protein epitopes in lignifying tissues and lignin initiation sites provided the basis for the hypothesis that DIRs guide regio- and stereo-specificity not only of lignans, but of the lignin, as well (3). Root endodermis differentiation involves formation of the Casparian Strip (CS), an apoplastic barrier analogous to animal endodermal tight-junctions, consisting of a ring-like impregnation of the primary cell wall with lignin (3). EBS1/DIR10 was shown to mediate CS formation via precise targeting of the lignification-mediating complex (4). Members of the DIR family were suggested to be direct targets of cytokinin signaling (5). We propose that cytokinin can control the cell wall composition and/or properties possibly in a response to abiotic stresses or as a part of developmental regulations via regulation of dirigent genes AtDIR13.
