Hormone végétale de croissance ayant pour principale fonction de stimuler la mitose.

OBS

On dispose maintenant de cytokinines de synthèse très voisines des naturelles; elles agissent comme les hormones, stimulant la division et l'accroissement cellulaires ainsi que les synthèses protéiques. Elles sont, en outre, à l'origine de la néoformation de bourgeons. Elles lèvent la dormance de nombreuses graines, favorisent le développement des ébauches florales et allongent la durée de vie des feuilles.
