Cytokinins: Vital Plant Growth Regulators
Cytokinins are a class of naturally occurring and synthetic plant hormones that play a central role in promoting cell division, shoot initiation, delay of senescence, and nutrient mobilization. Due to their ability to regulate various aspects of plant growth and development, cytokinins are widely used in:
- Agriculture (crop yield enhancement, tissue culture)
- Plant biotechnology (in vitro propagation)
- Horticulture (flowering and fruit development)
- Research and lab applications
Commercially available cytokinins include zeatin, kinetin, benzyladenine (BA/BAP), and thidiazuron (TDZ), each with specific functions and applications. With increasing demand for precision agriculture and sustainable farming solutions, cytokinin production is gaining momentum globally.

Cytokinin Production: Methods and Technical Overview
Primary Production Routes Covered:
- Chemical Synthesis
- Most common for synthetic cytokinins like benzyladenine (BA) and kinetin.
- Multi-step synthesis involving organic reactions such as halogenation, amination, and ring formation.
- Involves use of specialty chemicals, catalysts, and organic solvents.
- Plant Extraction
- Natural cytokinins like zeatin extracted from maize, coconut milk, or tobacco.
- Requires solvent extraction, chromatography, and purification.
- Low yield and high processing costs limit large-scale application.
- Microbial Fermentation (Biotechnological Route)
- Involves genetically engineered strains that biosynthesize cytokinins.
- Scalable and sustainable; suitable for eco-conscious formulations.
- Still under development for commercial volumes but promising for future use.
Each method is evaluated in the report in terms of yield efficiency, cost structure, scalability, and environmental impact.
