sitokiniini
Sitokiniini is a class of plant hormones that play a crucial role in plant growth and development. They are a type of phytohormone, meaning they are produced by plants. The term "cytokinin" itself derives from the Greek word "kytos" meaning cell, and "kinein" meaning to move, reflecting their primary function in promoting cell division.
Cytokinins were first discovered in the mid-20th century during research aimed at understanding plant tissue culture.
The main functions of cytokinins include stimulating cell division (cytokinesis), which is essential for growth and
Beyond these fundamental roles, cytokinins influence a variety of other plant responses. They can affect bud
