  • Originally thought to be substances that, when combined with auxins, cause callus differentiation and cell proliferation, cytokinins are now understood to be much more than that. 
  • The apical region of cell development and leaf withering are both aided by cytokinin. 
  • Cytokinins are essential for many stages of plant growth and development. 
  • They were first identified as substances that, when combined with auxins, promote cell proliferation and cause callus differentiation to shoots. 
  • Throughout the plant's life, cytokinins play a crucial role in controlling growth and development.
