trans-Zeatin is part of the cytokinin family of plant growth regulators and is found in many plants, including maize, rice, soybeans, and wheat. It appears to be a high-affinity ligand for a number of receptors, including arabidopsis histidine kinases (AHKs), specifically AHK3, which is important in mediating plant development. It is known to stimulate cell division and root growth, as well as improve the quality and yield of crops. trans-Zeatin has been used in gene expression studies to examine plant hormone regulation and in biochemical assays to analyze the enzymatic activity of plant hormones.
