Application

6-(γ,γ-Dimethylallylamino)purine: has been used as a standard in ultra-high performance liquid chromatography to compare the chromatogram of transgenic and wild type (WT) crude hormone extracts to quantify cytokinin levels, may be used as a component of the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for callus culture and in vitro shoot induction, may be used as a supplement in MS medium to make simplified shoot induction medium (SIM) to treat explants for shoot induction

Biochem/physiol Actions

6-(γ,γ-Dimethylallylamino)purine (2iP) is a bacteria-derived riboside cytokinin used to grow plant tissues such as tobacco and soybean callus. 2iP is a precursor of the cytokinin Zeatin. 2iP can also be used in Schenk and Hildebrandt medium to support in vitro propagation of micro shoot cultures from shoot tips of Genista plants.
