Metabolite Identification
Common NameN6-Dimethylallyladenine
DescriptionN6-Dimethylallyladenine is a cytokinin, a class of plant hormones that play crucial roles in regulating various physiological processes in plants. Chemically, it is characterized by a purine structure with a dimethylallyl side chain at the N6 position. This unique configuration allows it to participate in key biochemical pathways, particularly those involved in cell division, growth, and differentiation. Cytokinins like N6-dimethylallyladenine are known to influence apical dominance, promote shoot formation, and delay leaf senescence. Additionally, this compound has been utilized in the development of a N6-dimethylallyladenine (cytokinin) dehydrogenase-based microbiosensor, which enables real-time determination of cytokinins in various biological samples (PMID:24595403 ). This highlights its significance not only in plant biology but also in biotechnological applications, where monitoring cytokinin levels can provide insights into plant health and development.
