| Application: | 6-Benzylaminopurine has been used: • to induce sprouting in plant materials • in seed germination medium for culturing of seeds • to modify Murashige and Skoog (MS) media for shoot initiation |
| Application: | 6-Benzylaminopurine, benzyl adenine (BAP) is a synthetic cytokinin which together with auxins elicits plant growth and development responses. BAP is a widely use cytokinin supplement to plant growth media such as Murashige and Skoog medium, Gamborg’s medium, and Chu’s N6 medium. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | BAP is an inhibitor of respiratory kinase in plants, and increases post-harvest life of green vegetables. |
| General description: | 6-Benzylaminopurine is a plant growth regulator that belongs to the class of first generation synthetic cytokinin used in agriculture. |
