Description

trans-Zeatin is a highly active, naturally occurring cytokinin plant growth regulator. This compound is critical for promoting cell division, delaying senescence, and stimulating bud formation in plant tissue culture and agricultural applications. It is an essential reagent for researchers and commercial producers in plant biotechnology, horticulture, and advanced agriculture who require a reliable, high-purity cytokinin source to enhance crop yields and improve plant propagation efficiency.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture Media: A key component in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and other media formulations to induce shoot proliferation and callus growth.
• Horticulture and Micropropagation: Used to improve the success rate of cloning for ornamental plants, fruit trees, and rare species.
• Agricultural Biostimulants: Incorporated into foliar sprays and growth regulator mixes to enhance crop vigor, fruit set, and stress tolerance.
• Plant Physiology Research: A standard tool for studying cytokinin signaling pathways, apical dominance, and leaf senescence in model plants like Arabidopsis.
• Seed Treatment: Applied to improve germination rates and early seedling development under suboptimal conditions.
• Cell Culture Systems: Used in suspension cultures and bioreactors for the production of plant-derived secondary metabolites.
