Application

- Plant growth regulator: 6-Benzylaminopurine, also known as benzyl adenine or BAP, is a synthetic cytokinin plant growth regulator. It is commonly used in plant tissue culture to promote cell division and shoot proliferation.

- Tissue culture propagation: 6-Benzylaminopurine is utilized in tissue culture techniques to stimulate the growth of shoot cultures, aiding in the rapid multiplication of plantlets from small explants.

- Callus induction: In plant tissue culture, 6-Benzylaminopurine is employed to induce callus formation, a mass of undifferentiated cells, which can be further used for plant regeneration.

- Delay senescence: BAP can delay senescence (aging) in plant tissues, extending the shelf life of fruits and flowers and improving the overall quality of harvested produce.

- Seed germination: 6-Benzylaminopurine can enhance seed germination rates and promote early seedling growth in certain plant species.

- Fruit setting: When applied at appropriate stages, BAP can assist in fruit setting and development in certain fruit-bearing plants.

- Flowering induction: In some plants, 6-Benzylaminopurine can be used to induce flowering, particularly in instances where flowering is challenging or requires specific environmental conditions.

- Stress tolerance: BAP has been investigated for its potential role in enhancing stress tolerance in plants, including drought and temperature stress.

- Research tool: 6-Benzylaminopurine is used as a research tool in plant biology and agriculture to study plant growth and development, and its effects on various plant processes.
