Description:

Kinetin is a synthetic cytokinin compound that stimulates cell division when added to growth media, such as Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, often in combination with auxins.

Features:

• Easy to use
• Helps stimulate cell division and supports proper plant growth
• Used as a supplement in tissue culture media, for example MS medium
• Promotes callus formation and shoot initiation at later callus stages

Preparation guide:

Procedure for preparing tissue culture medium with kinetin:

• Prepare liquid tissue medium using MS, DKW, or another medium according to plant needs
• Add sugar according to medium volume (typically 30 g per liter), 1 ml/liter PPM, and 3–4 g gellan gum or 6–8 g agar per liter
• Then add the required amount of kinetin
• Sterilize the medium in an autoclave at 121 °C for 20 minutes at 15 psi
