6-Benzyladenine (6 BAP) – The Synthetic Cytokinin

 Plant Growth Regulators

Plant growth regulators are naturally occurring chemicals found in plant tissues that regulate plant tissue growth and differentiation. Plant hormones such as auxin, cytokinins, gibberellic acid, and ethylene are crucial for plant growth. They are typically synthesized in specific parts of the plant and transported throughout the plant from one part to the next. Plant growth regulators are chemicals produced synthetically or through fermentation processes that mimic the action of naturally occurring growth regulators and have the ability to modify plant growth in some way.

6-Benzyl adenine

BAP, or 6-benzyl adenine, is a first-generation synthetic cytokinin. It functions as both a plant metabolite and a cytokinin. 



Cytokinins are members of the plant growth hormone family. N-benzyl adenine belongs to the class of 6-aminopurines, which is adenine with one of the amino group's hydrogens replaced by a benzyl group. It is structurally similar to adenine.

Role of 6-Benzyl adenine

6-Benzyladenine, also known as 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), stimulates plant growth and development by setting blossoms and increasing fruit richness through cell division. It inhibits respiratory kinase in plants, extending the post-harvest life of green vegetables. Together with auxins, this synthetic cytokinin stimulates plant growth and development.

Role Of 6-Benzyl adenine In Plant Tissue Culture

It is used in plant tissue culture to culture seeds in seed germination medium and to modify Murashige and Skoog (MS) media for shoot initiation. It is a common cytokinin supplement for plant growth media like Murashige and Skoog medium, Gamborg's medium, and Chu's N6 medium.

Bacillus coagulans Isolation Using Glucose Yeast Extract BC Agar Medium

Image
  Bacillus coagulans is a lactic acid-producing bacterial species. It is a type of probiotic. Probiotics are live microorganisms that are intended to provide health benefits when consumed in the body. Probiotic organisms include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, Bacillus, and Streptococcus. Bacillus coagulans is a probiotic that produces lactic acid, but it is not the same as Lactobacillus. Unlike Lactobacillus and many other probiotics, it can produce spores during its reproductive life cycle. This ability allows Bacillus coagulans to go dormant during harsh conditions that would otherwise kill off other probiotics. As a result, this bacterial strain is particularly robust. It can withstand harsh environments, such as high levels of acid in the stomach. This may make Bacillus coagulans particularly effective at treating stomach upset and other ailments. Spore forming Bacillus coagulans strains are used as probiotics for antibiotic-treated patients in some countri...

Triple Sugar Saline Iron Agar

  In 1940, Sulkin, Willett, and Hajna described a triple-sugar ferrous sulphate medium for the identification of enteric bacteria. Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) Agar is used for the presumptive identification of Enterobacteriaceae based on the fermentation of carbohydrates and the production of gas and H 2 S. Triple Sugar Iron Agar contains three carbohydrates: glucose (dextrose), lactose, and sucrose. Triple Sugar Iron Agar is a differential medium that contains lactose, sucrose, a small amount of glucose (dextrose), ferrous sulphate, and the pH indicator phenol red. If an organism can ferment any of the three sugars present in the medium, the medium will turn yellow. If an organism can only ferment dextrose, the organism consumes a small amount of dextrose in the medium within the first ten hours of incubation. After that time, the reaction that produced acid reverses in the aerobic areas of the slant, and the medium in those areas turns red, indicating alkaline conditions.  T...
