Kinetin is widely used in plant tissue culture to promote cell division and growth. It is applied to induce shoot formation in callus cultures and to enhance the proliferation of plant cells. In agriculture, kinetin is used to delay senescence in leafy vegetables and flowers, extending their freshness and shelf life. It is also employed in horticulture to improve the growth and yield of crops by stimulating cell division and differentiation. Additionally, kinetin is utilized in research studies to understand the mechanisms of plant aging and development. Its role in stress tolerance has also been explored, helping plants withstand adverse environmental conditions.
