BAS Blue Corn Seed - 2.5 LB

Corn is known to be high in Cytokinins.

"Cytokinins will increase the girth and tinsel strength of the side branches and stronger branches will produce larger and heavier flowers." -Clackamas Coots

Instead of buying an expensive enzyme product in a bottle, you can make your own!

Cytokinin Functions
A list of some of the known physiological effects caused by cytokinins are listed below. The response will vary depending on the type of cytokinin and plant species (Davies, 1995; Mauseth, 1991; Raven, 1992; Salisbury and Ross, 1992).

  • Stimulates cell division. 
  • Stimulates morphogenesis (shoot initiation/bud formation) in tissue culture. 
  • Stimulates the growth of lateral buds-release of apical dominance. 
  • Stimulates leaf expansion resulting from cell enlargement. 
  • May enhance stomatal opening in some species. 
  • Promotes the conversion of etioplasts into chloroplasts via stimulation of chlorophyll synthesis.
