CAS No.: 525-79-1
Properties: Kinetin is a kind of endogenous cytokinin, which is one of the five major plant hormones. It’s chemical name is 6-Furfurylaminopurine (or N6-Furylmethyladenine). It is a natural plant endogenous hormone of purines, and it is also the first discovered by humans, which can be synthesized artificially already. It is hardly soluble in water, ethanol, ether and acetone and soluble in dilute acid or alkali and glacial acetic acid.
Mode of action:
It is absorbed by crop leaves, stems, cotyledons and germinating seeds, and moves slowly. It can promote cell differentiation, division and growth; induce callus growth; promote seed germination and break dormancy of lateral buds; delay leaf senescence and premature plant senescence; regulate nutrient transport; promote fruit setting; induce flower bud differentiation; regulate the stoma opening of the leaves and so on.
Usage:
It is a cytokinin plant growth regulator. Used in agriculture, fruit trees, vegetables and tissue culture to promote cell division, differentiation, and growth; induce callus long buds, relieve apical dominance; break lateral bud dormancy, promote seed germination; delay aging, preserve freshness; regulate nutrient transport Promote solidity and so on..
