Kinetin (6-Furfurylaminopurine) is a naturally occurring cytokinin plant growth regulator and a stem cell growth factor. It plays a crucial role in activating cellular metabolism, stimulating cell division, and delaying natural aging processes in plants.
When plant cells are cultured in a medium supplemented with kinetin, they remain youthful and metabolically active for much longer, without accumulating age-related by-products. Kinetin is widely used in plant tissue culture, horticulture, and biotechnology due to its ability to promote growth, rejuvenation, and extended flowering.
For example, even sensitive plants like orchids show significantly prolonged flowering and improved vitality when treated with kinetin.
