cytokinin, any of a number of plant hormones that influence growth and the stimulation of cell division. Cytokinins are synthesized in the roots and are usually derived from adenine. They …

Mar 27, 2002 · Cytokinins are N6 substituted adenine derivatives that affect many aspects of plant growth and development, including cell division, shoot initiation and growth, leaf senescence, …

Along with auxins, gibberellins, abscisic acid and ethylene, cytokinins belong to the group of classical plant hormones. Cytokinins were discovered by F. Skoog and co-workers in 1955 [1]. …

Cytokinins are a group of plant growth regulators which are primarily involved in performing cell division in plant roots, shoot system. This hormone helps in promoting the cell’s growth, …

They are plant growth hormones which are basic in nature, either amino purine or phenyl urea derivatives, that promote cytokinesis (= cell division) either alone or in conjunction with auxin.

Mar 2, 2022 · We can define cytokinin as the plant growth factor that promotes cell division. Cytokinins are known to promote the process of cytokinesis in conjunction with auxins.

Jan 9, 2023 · Here, we will focus on cytokinins — a unique class of plant hormones — giving clues on their metabolism, on how they are perceived by cells and how cells change their …

Jan 2, 2014 · We discuss the perception of cytokinin by the ER-localized histidine kinase receptors, the role of the AHPs in mediating the transfer of the phosphoryl group from the …

Natural cytokinins are derived from adenine and carry either a isoprene or aromatic side chain on their N6 terminal. Some of the common types of cytokinins are as follows: 1. Isoprenoid …

Skoog, Strong and Miller proposed the definition of cytokinin. It is a compound which besides other activities induces cytokinesis, i.e., cell division in the various plant organs grown in a …
