6-Benzylaminopurine (Cat No.: I000804) is a synthetic cytokinin, a class of plant growth regulators that promote cell division and differentiation. Structurally related to adenine, BAP is commonly used in plant tissue culture to stimulate shoot proliferation, delay leaf senescence, and improve crop yields. It plays a key role in regulating plant development, including seed germination, apical dominance, and fruit setting. Widely applied in agricultural biotechnology and horticulture, BAP is effective at low concentrations and is typically dissolved in alcohol or NaOH for use.
