Cytokinins are defined as compounds that have biological
activities similar to those of trans-zeatin. These activities include the
ability to do the following:
a) Induce cell division in callus cells in the presence of
an auxin
b) Promote bud or root formation from callus cultures when
in the appropriate molar ratios to auxin
c) promote senescence of leaves
d) Promote expansion of dicot cotyledons
