Description

trans-Zeatin is a highly active, naturally occurring cytokinin plant growth regulator. This compound is critical for promoting cell division, stimulating shoot initiation, and delaying senescence in plant tissue culture and agricultural applications. It is an essential reagent for researchers and commercial producers in plant biotechnology, horticulture, and advanced agriculture seeking to improve crop yields and propagation efficiency. Our supply of trans-Zeatin CAS NO 1637-39-4 ensures high purity and reliability for sensitive biological processes.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture Media: A key component in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and other media formulations to induce shoot proliferation and callus growth.
• Micropropagation: Used for the rapid, large-scale cloning of elite plant varieties in orchids, fruits, and ornamental species.
• Cell Division Research: Serves as a fundamental tool in plant physiology and developmental biology studies to understand cytokinin signaling pathways.
• Seed Germination Enhancement: Applied to improve germination rates and vigor in seeds with dormancy issues or under stress conditions.
• Senescence Delay: Used in post-harvest applications and research to extend the freshness and shelf-life of leafy vegetables and cut flowers.
• Agricultural Biostimulants: Incorporated into foliar sprays and nutrient solutions to enhance crop growth, yield, and stress tolerance.
