Most chromosomal replicons do not have a termination region like that of bacteria at which the replication forks cease movement and (presumably) dissociate from the DNA.

Cytokinins are defined as compounds that have biological activities similar to those of trans-zeatin. These activities include the ability to do the following:

Induce cell division in callus cells in the presence of an auxin

Promote bud or root formation from callus cultures when in the appropriate molar ratios to auxin

Delay senescence of leaves

Promote expansion of dicot cotyledons

Cytokinin biosynthesis, catalyzed by isopentenyl transferase (IPT), is the addition of the isopentenyl side chain from DMAPP (dimethylallyl diphosphate) to an adenosine moiety (ATP or ADP). iPRTP or iPRDP is converted to ZTP or ZDP respectively by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP735A) and eventually is converted to zeatin.
