Cytokinin
  1. Biosynthesis
    1. What it does
      1. Regulates cell division
        1. Promote shoot growth by increasing cell proliferation in the shoot apical meristem
          1. Promotion of shoot formation in tissue culture
            1. Delay of leaf senescence
              1. Increase root development in arid conditions
                1. Apical Dominance
                2. Apical dominance
                  1. 1. If the apical meristem is removed no auxin is produced
                    1. 2. IPT turned on and CKX turned off, cytokini is produced
                      1. 3. Cytokinin promotes cell division in the lateral bud
                        1. 4. The branch meristem starts producing auxin
                          1. 5. ITP is shut down and CKX is elevated, Cytokin decreases
