Description	As there is no common agreement for the nomenclature of TCS elements in plants, this has led to a confusing and in part contradictory naming of newly identified genes of this pathway. Thus, at the recent cytokinin meeting (Cytokinin Metabolism, Signaling, and Function, July 8–10, 2012, in Berlin), researchers discussed general guidelines that could be applied to the nomenclature of TCS members from all plant species. However, as the gene names for TCS members of the model systems Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa) have been grown historically and are well established (Schaller et al., 2007, 2008), the authors suggest applying the following guidelines to all other plant species only.
