Description
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR USE ON HUMANS.
Kinetin is a plant hormone that promotes cell division. It is part of a group of hormones called cytokinins.
The plant hormones cytokinins (CKs) comprise a class of growth regulators involved in the stress response, senescence, photosynthesis, nutrient assimilation and mobilization, as well as modulation of a plant tissue’s ability to act as a sink or source of metabolites.
CKs are recognized by a subset of sensor histidine kinases (HKs) and the signal is transmitted to the nucleus via a multistep phosphorelay (MSP), thus activating the expression of target genes.
