 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Lead
[edit]Zeatin is a cytokinin derived from adenine, which occurs in the form of a cis- and a trans-isomer and conjugates. Zeatin was discovered in immature corn kernels from the genus Zea. It promotes growth of lateral buds and when sprayed on meristems stimulates cell division to produce bushier plants.[citation needed]
Article body
[edit]Occurrence
[edit]Zeatin and its derivatives occur in many plant extracts and are the active ingredient in coconut milk, which causes plant growth.[1]
6-(γ,γ-Dimethylallylamino)purine is a zeatin precursor.[2]
Application
[edit]Zeatin has a variety of effects including:
- Promotes callus initiation when combined with auxin, concentration 1 ppm.
- Promotes fruit set. Zeatin 100 ppm + GA3 500 ppm + NAA 20 ppm, sprayed at 10th, 25th, 40th day after blossom.
- Retards yellowing for vegetables, 20 ppm, sprayed.
- Causes auxiliary stems to grow and flower.
Zeatin can also be applied to stimulate seed germination and seedling growth.
Zeatin has also been shown to promote the resistance of tobacco against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, in which trans-zeatin has a more prominent effect than cis-zeatin. [3]
The two isomers of Zeatin are found to have different effects biologically, as trans-zeatin is found to be bioactive while cis-zeatin has a weak impact. This distinct bioactivity is not a result of difference in uptake and accumulation of trans-Zeatin as opposed to cis-Zeatin.[4] In the tobacco callus bioassay, cis-Zeatin was found to be less active than trans-Zeatin. There is no evidence of cis↔trans isomerization in plant tissues.[5]
