DISCOVERY OF CYTOKININS
• SEARCH FOR CELL DIVISION FACTORS THAT WOULD ALLOW
PLANT TISSUES TO DIVIDE IN TISSUE CULTURE
• CELL DIVISION ACTIVITY IDENTIFIED IN COCONUT MILK
•CELL DIVISION ACTIVITY ALSO FOUND IN VASCULAR TISSUES
•ADENINE FOUND TO BE SLIGHTLY ACTIVE
• OLD BOTTLE OF DNA FOUND TO HAVE STRONG ACTIVITY, BUT
NOT NEW BOTTLE
• KINETIN IDENTIFIED AS DEGRADATION PRODUCT OF DNA
KINETIN (6-furfurylaminopurine)
(Discovered
as a cell
division
factor)
