Application

Kinetin(Cas No.:525-79-1) is a cytokinin-like synthetic compound that regulates cell growth in plants. Kinetin was the first cytokinin discovered. It is also adenine-based. It was given the name kinetin because of its ability to induce cell division, provided that auxin was present in the medium. Kinetin is often used in plant tissue culture for inducing formation of callus (in conjunction with auxin) and to regenerate shoot tissues from callus (with lower auxin concentration).
