Description

Zeatin CAS NO 131140-27-7 is a naturally occurring cytokinin, a potent plant growth regulator that plays a critical role in cell division and differentiation. Its primary value lies in its ability to stimulate plant growth, delay senescence, and improve crop yields, making it an essential component in advanced agricultural and horticultural formulations. This high-purity compound is indispensable for researchers in plant biology, biotechnologists developing tissue culture media, and manufacturers of premium plant growth regulators and biostimulants for high-value crops.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture: A key component in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and other media formulations to induce shoot proliferation and callus growth.
• Agricultural Biostimulants: Formulated into foliar sprays and rooting agents to enhance crop vigor, fruit set, and stress tolerance.
• Horticulture & Floriculture: Used to promote lateral bud break, delay leaf yellowing, and extend the shelf life of cut flowers and ornamental plants.
• Plant Biotechnology Research: Serves as a critical reagent for studying plant cell signaling, developmental biology, and senescence mechanisms.
• Seed Treatment: Incorporated into priming solutions to improve germination rates and seedling establishment.
• Micropropagation: Essential for the commercial cloning of high-value plants like orchids, berries, and fruit tree rootstocks.
