Function and Characteristics
Oxyenadenine is a new type of industrialized cytokinin in recent years. It was first isolated from immature corn kernels as a cell division promoting substance similar to kinetin, so it was named zeatin (ZT).
- A plant endogenous substance with strong activity and good conductivity;
- The activity of trans-zeatin is better than that of cis-zeatin;
- Chemical synthesis, clear structure, stable source;
- Used in different periods, the effects are different: Promote seed and bud germination: Promote transpiration and stomatal opening, regulate nutrient absorption: Improve photosynthesis, promote grain development; Promote flower bud formation and flowering: Promote fruit setting, flower preservation and fruit preservation; Induce tuber formation: delay chlorophyll degradation and promote freshness.
