Application

Kinetin has been used:
  • in modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) media for shoot initiation(4)
  • as plant growth regulator (PGR) for shoot induction and proliferation(5)
  • to study its effects on the growth of two chlorophyte Microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis and Dunaliella salina(6)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Kinetin is an adenine-type cytokinin phytohormone that is used in plant culture media such as Murashige & Skoog media in conjunction with auxins such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), 1-napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or others to induce the fomation of callus and to regenerate plant tissues from callus.
Kinetin is capable of inducing the opening of grass stomata.

General description

Kinetin is an artificial cytokinin. It is named due to its ability to stimulate cell division.
