Kinetin is augments growth of microbial cultures. Kinetin, a plant growth regulator (PGR), has been widely employed in agriculture for an extensive period. It serves as a natural cytokinin hormone that aids in the regulation of plant cell division, growth, and maturation. The mechanism of action involves the activation of cytokinin receptors, a protein family that plays a role in regulating cell division, growth, and maturation in plants. Additionally, Kinetin stimulates various cellular pathways, such as MAPK and PI3K, which govern cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival.
