  text: As sessile organisms, plants have to be able to adapt to a continuously changing
    environment. Plants that perceive some of these changes as stress signals activate
    signaling pathways to modulate their development and to enable them to survive.
    The complex responses to environmental cues are to a large extent mediated by
    plant hormones that together orchestrate the final plant response. The phytohormone
    cytokinin is involved in many plant developmental processes. Recently, it has
    been established that cytokinin plays an important role in stress responses, but
    does not act alone. Indeed, the hormonal control of plant development and stress
    adaptation is the outcome of a complex network of multiple synergistic and antagonistic
    interactions between various hormones. Here, we review the recent findings on
    the cytokinin function as part of this hormonal network. We focus on the importance
    of the crosstalk between cytokinin and other hormones, such as abscisic acid,
    jasmonate, salicylic acid, ethylene, and auxin in the modulation of plant development
    and stress adaptation. Finally, the impact of the current research in the biotechnological
    industry will be discussed.
