Description

Zeatin-8-14C is a radiolabeled cytokinin plant growth regulator, specifically a carbon-14 isotope-labeled derivative of zeatin. This product is essential for advanced agricultural and plant biology research, enabling precise metabolic and environmental fate studies. It is primarily required by agrochemical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and biotechnology companies focused on plant physiology, herbicide development, and plant growth regulation.

Application

• Tracer Studies in Plant Metabolism: Used to investigate the uptake, translocation, and metabolic pathways of cytokinins within plants.
• Environmental Fate Research: Critical for studying the degradation, persistence, and mobility of zeatin and related compounds in soil and water systems.
• Mode of Action (MoA) Research: Enables detailed biochemical studies to elucidate the mechanism of action of plant growth regulators and related agrochemicals.
• Plant Tissue Culture Research: Serves as a radiolabeled standard in studies optimizing cytokinin ratios for cell division and differentiation.
• Analytical Method Development: Acts as an internal standard for the development and validation of sensitive analytical methods like LC-MS/MS for cytokinin quantification.
• Agrochemical Product Development: Supports the research and registration process for new plant growth regulator formulations by providing definitive metabolic data.
