Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Trans-Zeatin is a naturally occurring cytokinin, a class of plant hormones that regulate cell division, growth, and differentiation. It functions by binding to cytokinin receptors, activating signaling pathways that promote shoot growth, delay leaf senescence, and enhance nutrient mobilization. As a key regulator of plant development, trans-zeatin plays a crucial role in seed germination, root-shoot balance, and stress responses. In agriculture and biotechnology, it is used to improve crop yields, extend the shelf life of harvested produce, and enhance tissue culture propagation by stimulating cell proliferation and organogenesis.
