trans-Zeatin Riboside (CAS 6025-53-2)

Trans-Zeatin Riboside is a plant hormone belonging to the cytokinin class, which is widely used in plant biology research due to its role in promoting cell division, growth, and development. As a cytokinin, it is instrumental in studies investigating the regulation of plant organogenesis, leaf senescence, and the pathways that control shoot and root architecture. Researchers utilize trans-Zeatin Riboside to explore the signaling mechanisms underlying plant responses to environmental stimuli and to understand the interplay between various plant hormones. In tissue culture experiments, it is applied to study and induce the formation of shoots from plant tissues, providing insights into the molecular and genetic factors that govern plant morphogenesis. Moreover, the compound is also used in agricultural biotechnology research to enhance the nutritional content of crops, improve plant resistance to environmental stresses, and increase yield, making it useful for improving agricultural practices.
