General description

trans-Zeatin contains a hydroxylated isoprenoid side chain.

Application

trans-Zeatin has been used:
  • as a media supplement for the isolation and culture of pretransitional and transitional embryos
  • as a culture media supplement for incubating alginate strip culture
  • as a growth regulator in modified basal Murashige and Skoog medium

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zeatin upon reduction forms zeatin O-glucoside, which is widely present in plants. It possesses transportation and storage functions, along with defence against zeatin oxidases.
trans-Zeatin is a plant cytokinin

Zeatins, a major type of cytokinin, are ubiquitous in higher plants, and involve in regulating a wide range of developmental processes. The development of highly specific ligands to zeatins would be very useful in plant biological research. Here we describe

Cytokinins (CKs) are plant hormones affecting numerous developmental processes. Zeatin and its derivatives are the most important group of isoprenoid CKs. Zeatin occurs as two isomers: while trans-zeatin (transZ) was found to be a bioactive substance, cis-zeatin (cisZ) was reported
