Meta-Topoline 500 mg

Meta-topolin [6-(3-hydroxybenzylamino)purine] is an aromatic cytokinin. It was first isolated from poplar leaves. Its name is derived from "topol". the Czech word for poplar. The metabolism of meta-topolin is similar to that of other cytokinins. Just as zeatin and BAP. meta-topolin may undergo ribosylation at position 9 without a significant effect on the activity. In Spathiphyllum floribundum. shoot production in media with BAP and meta-topolin is very similar. However. after transfer to the soil. the shoots produced with meta-topolin root much better during acclimatization.S.P.O. Werbrouck. M. Strnad. H.A Van Onckelen and P.C. Debergh.
