Function:
1. Kinetin is a cytokinin type plant growth regulator.
2. It can promote cell division, differentiation and growth, and thus enhance germination and fruit set, induce callus initiation, reduce apical dominance, break lateral bud dormancy, retard aging. It is used in agriculture, fruit and vegetable planting, tissue culture.
3. Also, kinetin functions as an antioxidant in the cosmetics. This means that kinetin can prevent oxidative damage caused by "free radicals," or dangerously reactive molecules that can corrupt DNA and cellular proteins.
