Product Description:

Zeatin riboside, also known as ribosylzeatin, is a naturally occurring cytokinin plant hormone. It is a nucleoside derivative, specifically the ribonucleoside of zeatin. The compound consists of a zeatin base (a substituted adenine) linked to a ribose sugar moiety via a β-glycosidic bond. Its primary application is in plant biology research and agriculture. As a potent cytokinin, zeatin riboside plays a crucial role in regulating plant cell division, growth, and development. It is involved in processes such as shoot initiation, leaf senescence delay, and nutrient mobilization. In research, it is used to study plant hormone signaling pathways and to induce callus formation or shoot regeneration in plant tissue culture. In agricultural biotechnology, it may be used as a component in plant growth media to improve micropropagation efficiency. Zeatin riboside is considered a key metabolite and transport form of active cytokinins within plants. It serves as a precursor that can be converted to the active free base zeatin. Its presence and levels are often analyzed as biomarkers for cytokinin activity in physiological studies.
