Question
Write short notes on cytokinins
Answer
Cytokinins, also known as kinins, are a class of plant hormones that regulate cell division, differentiation, and various developmental processes in plants. They are primarily synthesized in the root apical meristems and are also found in developing embryos, young leaves, and fruits. Cytokinins play vital roles in promoting lateral bud growth, regulating apical dominance, and delaying senescence in leaves.
