Description

Zeatin is a naturally occurring cytokinin plant hormone, a key regulator of cell division and differentiation in plant tissues. Its high biological activity makes it essential for promoting plant growth, delaying senescence, and improving crop yields. This compound is primarily utilized by the agricultural biotechnology, plant tissue culture, and horticultural industries for research and commercial applications.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture Media: A critical component for inducing shoot formation, promoting callus growth, and improving the success rate of micropropagation for ornamental plants, fruits, and forestry species.
• Agricultural Biostimulants: Used in formulations to enhance crop vigor, improve stress tolerance (e.g., drought, salinity), and increase fruit set and size in high-value crops.
• Seed Treatment: Applied to improve germination rates, stimulate early seedling growth, and establish stronger root systems.
• Horticulture and Floriculture: Employed to delay leaf yellowing, extend the vase life of cut flowers, and maintain the freshness of leafy greens post-harvest.
• Plant Physiology and Biochemistry Research: Serves as a fundamental reagent in laboratory studies to understand cytokinin signaling pathways, gene expression, and developmental processes.
• Biofertilizer and Organic Farming Inputs: Incorporated into advanced nutrient solutions and organic growth promoters to support sustainable agricultural practices.
