6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) | Cytokinin for Plant Growth, Cell Division & Post-Harvest Quality

Product Description:

6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), also known as Benzyladenine or BA, is a synthetic cytokinin widely used in plant tissue culture, horticulture, and agriculture to stimulate cell division, flowering, and fruit development. As a first-generation cytokinin and adenine derivative, BAP plays a vital role in regulating plant growth and enhancing post-harvest quality.

BAP is commonly used as a growth medium supplement in formulations such as Murashige and Skoog (MS), Gamborg's B5, and Chu's N6 medium, making it essential in micropropagation and plant biotechnology research.

Key Benefits:

• Stimulates Cell Division: Promotes active cell proliferation, especially in tissue culture applications.
• Enhances Flowering & Fruiting: Encourages floral initiation and improves fruit set and richness.
• Delays Senescence: Inhibits respiratory kinases in plants, helping to delay aging and maintain post-harvest freshness.
• Preserves Green Color: Demonstrated to maintain green pigmentation in broccoli heads and asparagus spears during storage, improving visual and nutritional quality.
• Widely Used in Plant Media: Ideal for use in standard growth mediums like MS, B5, and N6.

Applications Include:

• Plant tissue culture and micropropagation
• Post-harvest treatment of vegetables
• Crop yield and fruit quality enhancement
• Research and biotechnology labs

Application Method:
Dilute and apply as instructed depending on the target plant or tissue culture protocol.
