6-Benzylaminopurine dual functions
6-Benzylaminopurine has the dual functions of promoting buds and flowers
6-BA has the dual functions of promoting buds and flowers, and its specific effects depend on the application scenario and the growth stage of the plant. Its core mechanism is to break the apical dominance by regulating cell division and differentiation, and promote the growth of lateral buds and the formation of flower buds.
The main mechanism of action of 6-Benzylaminopurine
1. Bud promotion
6-BA promotes cell division and differentiation: induces dormant buds or non-differentiated tissues to develop into lateral buds, for example, applying dormant buds can stimulate the emergence of lateral branches.
6-BA breaks apical dominance: by regulating the ratio of auxin to cytokinin, inhibits the growth of the main stem apex and promotes the germination of lateral buds.
2. Flower promotion
6-BA promotes flower bud differentiation: spraying during the flower bud differentiation period of fruit trees (such as peaches and citrus) can accelerate flower bud formation, increase flowering and fruit setting rate.
6-BA delays leaf senescence: by inhibiting chlorophyll degradation, maintaining the photosynthesis capacity of leaves, and providing sufficient nutrients for flower bud development.
