Abstract
Using chromatographic, chemical, and enzymic techniques, 11 compounds capable of stimulating the division of soybean callus cells were tentatively identified in the root sap of Bougainvillea `San Diego Red.' These cytokinin-like compounds included phosphorylated and glucosylated forms of zeatin, ribosylzeatin, and their dihydro derivatives. In addition, isopentenyl adenosine and isopentenyl adenine were apparently also present. The occurrence of glucosylated derivatives in the root sap of plants has not been substantiated previously.
