Notes: Kinetin is a cytokinin and plant growth regulator.{69416,69417} It increases the percentage of tetraploid cells in mitosis in mature P. sativum root segments when used at a concentration of 3.2 µM.{69416} Kinetin (2 mg/L) decreases P. maritimum seed germination, leaf number, leaf length, and root length.{69417} It increases GSH levels, decreases glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity, and reduces thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels in human skin fibroblasts when used at a concentration of 10 µM.{41947} Kinetin also inhibits the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in infected Calu-3 and Huh7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.{69418} Formulations containing kinetin have been used as plant growth regulators in agriculture.
