trans-Zeatin is a naturally occurring cytokinin plant growth regulator routinely used in plant tissue culture to induce cell division and shoot formation. trans-zeatin is freely soluble in acetic acid and water.

trans-Zeatin and other cytokinins are used in plant cell culture to stimulate plant cell division and induce shoot formation. Cytokinins have also been shown to help plants better cope with environmental stress.
