2. CYTOKININ
Cytokinins are a class of plant growth substances
(phytohormones) that promote cell division in plant
root and shoots .

5. ROLE OF
CYTOKININ:
• Promote bud or root
formation
• Delay senescence of leaves
• Promote expansion of dicot
cotyledons
• Promote movement of
nutrients
• Promote chloroplast
development
• Promote cell expansion.
