Kinetin
Kinetin is a synthetic cytokinin that stimulates cell division when added to growth media such as Murashige and Skoog media in conjunction with auxins.
Product Specifications
Synonyms
6-Furfurylaminopurine
HS Code
2934.99
Applications
Used for shoot induction and proliferation
In some plants, kinetin can help break bud dormancy.
Kinetin helps maintain the health and viability of plant tissues during long-term culture by promoting cell division and delaying senescence.
Kinetin is often used in combination with auxin to create a hormonal balance that optimizes root and shoot development.
Assay Protocol
Follow the given steps to prepare the tissue culture media using PCT’s Kinetin powder:
Prepare liquid tissue culture media using PCT’s MS, DKW media, or any other alternative media.
Add sugar based on the quantity of media you’re making (generally, 30 grams of sugar is added for 1-liter media), 1 ml/L PPM, and 3-4 grams per liter of gellan gum or 6-8 grams per liter of agar.
Then, add the desired quantity of the Kinetin from the prepared Kinetin stock solution.
Autoclave the medium for 20 minutes at 15 psi and 121°C.
