If a plant cell culture experiences prolonged exposure to high cytokinin concentrations, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

High cytokinin promotes cell division and differentiation in shoots. The increased cytokinin concentration biases development toward shoot formation rather than root development through signal transduction pathways, because the ratio of auxin to cytokinin is a critical regulator of plant morphogenesis; therefore, a high cytokinin concentration favors shoot development rather than root development.
