  • Applications

    Kinetin (CAS 525-79-1) is a synthetic cytokinin used primarily as a plant growth regulator to promote cell division and shoot proliferation in agriculture and plant tissue culture, where it is routinely added to culture media to drive organogenesis. It is applied in horticulture to influence growth in certain crops and is widely used in laboratory plant biology research as a standard cytokinin. In cosmetics/personal care, kinetin is sometimes marketed as an ingredient in formulations with skin-conditioning or anti-aging claims, though such uses are subject to regulatory limits. In academic and industrial research, it serves as a tool to study cytokinin signaling and plant development.
