Kinetin
Kinetin (CAS 525-79-1), with the molecular formula C10H9N5O and a molecular weight of 215.21 g/mol, is a potent cytokinin phytohormone. Primarily utilised in plant tissue culture, it is indispensable for inducing callus formation and promoting the regeneration of plant tissues from callus. Kinetin is a vital component in various plant culture media, often used in conjunction with auxins to support advanced plant biotechnology applications.
Plant Tissue Culture Media
Kinetin is a key cytokinin used in plant tissue culture media, such as Murashige & Skoog media. It is commonly employed alongside auxins to stimulate callus formation and facilitate the regeneration of plant tissues.
Plant Biotechnology
As a plant growth regulator, Kinetin plays a crucial role in plant biotechnology. Its ability to influence cell division and differentiation makes it valuable for research and propagation techniques.
Hormonal Regulation Studies
This adenine-type cytokinin is used to study hormonal regulation in plants. Its application helps researchers understand the complex mechanisms controlling plant growth and development.
