Plant Cytokinins Detection

Cytokinins are a group of plant hormones that influence cell growth, division and differentiation. Cytokinins are involved in a variety of plant growth processes such as seed germination, apical dominance, shoot and root morphogenesis, flower and fruit development, and leaf senescence. Cytokinins are responsible for mediating auxin transport throughout the plant, and work with auxin to regulate apical dominance and axillary bud growth. The ratio of cytokinin to auxin results in "direct inhibition hypothesis" effects. A higher ratio of cytokinin induces growth of shoot buds, while a higher ratio of auxin induces root formation. Cytokinins also delay the senescence of organs by preventing protein breakdown, activating protein synthesis, and assembling nutrients from nearby tissues. Recently, evidence suggests that cytokinins are involved in immunological interactions. Cytokinins can induce resistance in plants against infections of plant pathogen such as bacteria, fungi and pest insects.

STEMart is able to efficiently and accurately detect the content and changes of cytokinins and its derivatives in plant samples based on ELISA and HPLC platform.
