Cytokinins(CK) are a class ofplant growth substancesthat promotecell division, orcytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily incellgrowth anddifferentiation, but also affectapical dominance,axillary budgrowth, and leafsenescence.Folke Skoogdiscovered their effects usingcoconut milkin the 1940s at theUniversity of Wisconsin–Madison. Pruning of plants promote branching because the axillary buds get sensitized to cytokinin.
