PMCID: PMC389478  PMID: 5289891

Abstract

A systematic search has resulted in the synthesis of a class of cytokinin antimetabolites. The development and biological properties of the anticytokinins are discussed in terms of one member of the class, 3- methyl - 7 - (3 - methylbutylamino)pyrazolo[4,3 - d]- pyrimidine.

Keywords: tobacco callus, adenine analogues
