Description

Kinetin CAS NO 529-79-1 is a naturally occurring cytokinin plant growth regulator, a derivative of adenine. This compound is critical for promoting cell division, delaying senescence, and influencing various aspects of plant growth and development. It is an essential tool for researchers and formulators in plant tissue culture, agricultural biotechnology, and horticulture, where precise control over plant morphogenesis is required.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture Media: A key component in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and other media formulations to induce and sustain callus growth and shoot proliferation.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Used in genetic engineering and micropropagation protocols for crops, ornamental plants, and endangered species.
• Senescence Delay Studies: Applied in research to study and delay the aging process in plant leaves and fruits, extending shelf-life.
• Hormone Combination Studies: Used in conjunction with auxins like IAA or NAA to manipulate the root/shoot growth ratio in vitro.
• Seed Germination Enhancement: Employed to break seed dormancy and improve germination rates in certain plant species.
• Cytokinin Activity Standard: Serves as a reference standard in biochemical assays and for calibrating analytical methods.
