Benzyladenine and derivatives-their significance and interconversion in plants

Abstract

Recently benzyladenine has been isolated as a natural cytokinin from a number of plants. The natural occurrence of this cytokinin will change the attitude with which physiologists view this hormone. This review attempts to put into context what is known about this cytokinin and its derivatives and to compare and contrast its metabolism and the function and physiological action of its various metabolites. Nothing is known about the biosynthesis of benzyladenine. Its structure would suggest that its biosynthetic pathway may differ considerably from that of zeatin and iso-pentenyladenine.
