6-Benzylaminopurine

6-Benzylaminopurine

6-Benzylaminopurine, benzyl adenine or BAP is a first-generation synthetic cytokinin which elicits plant growth and development responses, setting blossoms and stimulating fruit richness by stimulating cell division. It is an inhibitor of respiratory kinase in plants, and increases post-harvest life of green vegetables.

6-benzylaminopurine was first synthetized and tested in the laboratories of plant physiologist Folke K. Skoog.
