Question

Is cytokinin a plant hormone?

Answer 1

Cytokinin:

1. Cytokinin is a class of plant growth regulators that are primarily involved in the division of cells in plant roots and shoot systems.
2. This hormone promotes cell growth, development, and differentiation.
3. It also influences apical dominance, leaf senescence, and axillary bud growth.
4. Farmers use it to increase crop yield.
5. Cytokinin is typically produced in the roots and then transported through the xylem to other parts of the plant where plant growth continues, such as fruits, seeds, and young leaves.
