Blue corn seed 2.5 lb - small bag

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.
