Application
cis-Zeatin has been used as a cytokinin standard in the ultra-violet (UV) spectrum and gas chromatogram measurements to characterize N-glucoside of cis-Zeatin from potato tuber sprouts. It has also been used as a cytokinin to treat legume M. atropurpureum to test its effect on pseudonodules formation.
Biochem/physiol Actions
cis-Zeatin displays a low affinity to cytokinin receptors (CK) and lower activity in the classical CK bioassays compared to the trans isomer. cis-Zeatin (cZ) and its riboside (cZR) regulate plant development and stress. cZ also plays a key role in the growth and development of rice. It may also have a role in mediating plant-pathogen interactions and plant immunity.
General description
