Hormone perception and signaling pathways have a fundamental regulatory function in the physiological processes of plants.Cytokinins,a class of plant hormones,regulate cell division and meristem maintenance.The cytokinin signaling pathway is well established in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.Several negative feedback mechanisms,tightly controlling cytokinin signaling output,have been described previously.In this study,we identified a new feedback mechanism executed through alternative splicing of the cytokinin recep-tor AHK4/CRE1.A novel splicing variant named CRE1int7 results from seventh intron retention,introducing a premature termination codon in the transcript.We showed that CRE1int7 is translated in planta into a truncated receptor lacking the C-terminal receiver domain essential for signal transduction.CRE1int7 can bind cytokinin but cannot activate the downstream cascade.We present a novel negative feedback mecha-nism of the cytokinin signaling pathway,facilitated by a decoy receptor that can inactivate canonical cyto-kinin receptors via dimerization and compete with them for ligand binding.Ensuring proper plant growth and development requires precise control of the cytokinin signaling pathway at several levels.CRE1int7 rep-resents a so-far unknown mechanism for fine-tuning the cytokinin signaling pathway in Arabidopsis.
