Kinetin was the first isolated compound with detectable cytokinin activity. The substance is considered a model substance for cytokinins. Although it is apparently not found in plant cells, it is extraordinarily effective as an additive in cell cultures. The naturally occurring cytokinins, such as zeatin, are structurally very closely related to kinetin.
