Description

Zeatin Mixed Isomers-Plant Cell Culture is a high-purity cytokinin plant growth regulator, essential for stimulating cell division and promoting growth in plant tissue culture. Its value lies in providing a defined, consistent hormonal supplement critical for reproducible research and commercial-scale plant propagation. This product is indispensable for biotechnology companies, agricultural research institutions, and horticultural laboratories engaged in plant micropropagation, genetic engineering, and developmental biology studies.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture Media Formulation: A key component in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and other media for initiating and sustaining callus growth and shoot proliferation.
• Micropropagation and Cloning: Used to enhance axillary bud break and shoot multiplication for the mass production of genetically identical, disease-free plants.
• Cell Suspension Cultures: Promotes cell division and biomass accumulation in liquid culture systems for secondary metabolite production.
• Plant Regeneration Protocols: Critical for inducing organogenesis (shoot and root formation) from callus or explants in genetic transformation and breeding programs.
• Developmental Biology Research: Employed in studies investigating cytokinin signaling, apical dominance, leaf senescence, and nutrient mobilization.
• Seed Germination and Dormancy Breaking: Can be used to improve germination rates and vigor in certain plant species.
• Protoplast Culture: Supports the division and colony formation of isolated plant protoplasts.
• Cryopreservation of Germplasm: Incorporated into pre- and post-culture media to enhance the recovery of cryopreserved plant tissues.
