Trans-zeatin is an endogenous plant growth regulator belonging to the purine plant cytokinin. It was originally discovered and isolated from young corn cobs and has multiple biological functions. Trans-zeatin has a chemical formula of C10H13N5O. It is a white to yellow powder (crystal) that is insoluble in water but soluble in solvents such as 1M acetic acid, 1M NaOH, alcohol and DMF. Trans-zeatin has two isomers, cis and trans. The trans isomer (trans-zeatin) has stronger biological activity than the cis isomer.
Key Applications:
