Meta Description: High-purity 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA, CAS 1214-39-7), the first synthetic cytokinin. A vital plant growth regulator for enhancing crop yield, delaying senescence, promoting cell division, and revolutionizing plant tissue culture. Ideal for large-scale agricultural and horticultural applications.

Product Overview

6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA) stands as a foundational, broad-spectrum plant growth regulator and the pioneering synthetic cytokinin in the market. This white crystalline powder is renowned for its high efficiency, remarkable stability (in both acid and alkali conditions), and cost-effectiveness. With a minimum purity of 99%, it is an indispensable tool for modern agriculture, horticulture, and biotechnology.

Core Functions & Applications

6-BA is a multifaceted regulator essential across the plant growth cycle, from germination to harvest. Its primary actions include:

• Promoting Cell Division & Expansion: Stimulates cell division in meristematic regions (shoot/root tips, developing fruits, seeds), leading to improved fruit set, lateral bud growth, and overall plant development.
• Delaying Senescence & Preserving Freshness: Inhibits the degradation of chlorophyll, proteins, and nucleic acids in leaves. This anti-aging effect helps maintain greenness, prolongs the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, and enhances the quality of leaves (e.g., in tea and tobacco).
• Inducing Bud Formation & Regulating Morphogenesis: A critical component in plant tissue culture media, it effectively induces bud differentiation and callus formation, making it a favorite among tissue culturers worldwide.
• Enhancing Nutrient Mobilization: Facilitates the transport of amino acids, auxins, and inorganic salts to treated areas, optimizing plant resource allocation.
