Description

Kinetin (6-Furfurylaminopurine) is a naturally occurring cytokinin plant growth regulator. This compound is valued for its ability to promote cell division, delay senescence, and influence various plant growth processes. It is essential for researchers and formulators in the plant biotechnology, agriculture, and horticulture sectors seeking to enhance crop yield, improve plant health, and study plant physiology.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture: A key component in media formulations to induce and sustain callus growth, shoot proliferation, and organogenesis.
• Agricultural Biostimulants: Used in foliar sprays and growth regulator blends to improve crop vigor, stress tolerance, and overall yield.
• Senescence Delay: Applied to extend the shelf life and visual quality of cut flowers, leafy vegetables, and harvested produce.
• Seed Germination & Dormancy Breaking: Enhances germination rates and helps overcome seed dormancy in certain plant species.
• Plant Physiology Research: A fundamental tool for studying cytokinin signaling pathways, cell cycle regulation, and developmental biology in plants.
• Horticulture & Floriculture: Used to promote lateral bud growth, improve rooting of cuttings, and maintain the vitality of ornamental plants.
