Increasing crop productivity is our major challenge if we are to meet global needs for food, feed and fuel. Controlling the level of the plant hormones cytokinins is a mean of improving plant productivity. Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKO/CKX) is a major target in this regard because it degrades cytokinins. Here, we describe the synthesis and biological activities of new CKX inhibitors derived mainly from diphenylurea. They were tested on four CKX isoforms from maize and Arabidopsis, where the best compounds showed IC50 values in the 10 -8 M concentration range. The binding mode of the most efficient inhibitors was characterized from high-resolution crystal complexed structures. Although these compounds do not possess intrinsic cytokinin activity, we have demonstrated their tremendous potential for use in the plant tissue culture industry as well as in agriculture. We have identified a key substance, compound 19, which increases stress resistance and seed yield in Arabidopsis, but also improves the yield of wheat, barley and rapeseed grains under field conditions. Thus our findings reveal that subtle modulation of cytokinin levels via CKX inhibition can positively affect plant growth, development and yield, and underline the fact that CKX inhibitors truly deserve to attract interest in plant biotechnology and agriculture.
