Cytokinins are plant growth hormones that promote cell division. They were first isolated in the 1950s and have an adenine ring structure. There are two main types: adenine-type cytokinins like kinetin and zeatin, and phenylurea-type cytokinins like TDZ. Cytokinins induce cell division, delay senescence, promote nutrient movement and chloroplast development. They are synthesized by the enzyme isopentenyltransferase, which transfers an isopentenyl group to AMP. Cytokinins can also be produced through the degradation of tRNAs in plants and bacteria.
