| Targets |
Meta-Topolin targets cytokinin receptors in plants, which are histidine kinases involved in signal transduction pathways regulating cell division, differentiation, and development. As a cytokinin, it mimics the action of natural cytokinins such as zeatin and is more active than 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) in certain applications. It can also undergo ribosylation at the 9-position, forming 9-β-D-ribofuranosyl and 9-β-D-glucopyranosyl derivatives.

| ln Vitro |
Poplar leaves were initially used to extract meta-topolin. In plant tissues, meta-topolin and its derivatives 9-β-D-ribofuranosyl and 9-β-v-glucopyranosyl are found naturally. When it comes to encouraging shoot production in plant tissue culture, meta-topolin outperforms zeatin and benzyladenine [1]. Shoot production in Spathiphyllum is remarkably similar in media that contain both meta-topolin and BAP [2].
In vitro, Meta-Topolin exhibits potent cytokinin activity, promoting cell division and differentiation in plant cells. It is particularly effective in stimulating shoot proliferation and inducing adventitious root formation in plant tissue culture. It generally causes less root inhibition than 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), making it a preferred cytokinin for certain plant propagation applications. Its activity is comparable to or greater than that of zeatin and BAP in various plant species. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Meta-Topolin is used in plant tissue culture, agriculture, and horticulture to enhance plant growth, improve crop yield, and aid in plant propagation. It is effective in stimulating shoot proliferation and inducing adventitious root formation in whole plants. Its high activity and low root inhibition make it a valuable tool for micropropagation and plant breeding programs.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro assays for Meta-Topolin are conducted in plant tissue culture systems. Cytokinin activity is assessed by measuring the promotion of cell division in plant cells, such as tobacco callus or soybean cotyledonary node cultures. Shoot proliferation and adventitious root formation are evaluated by culturing plant explants (e.g., shoot tips, nodal segments) on media containing varying concentrations of the compound (typically 0.1-10 µM) and measuring the number of shoots or roots produced.
|
| Cell Assay |
Meta-Topolin is used in plant cell culture assays to study cytokinin signaling and plant development. Plant cells or tissues are cultured on media containing Meta-Topolin at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 µM. Morphological changes, shoot proliferation, root formation, and biomass accumulation are assessed. Gene expression analysis may be performed to study cytokinin-responsive genes.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies are not applicable for Meta-Topolin, as it is a plant growth regulator and not used in animal models. Meta-Topolin is a plant growth regulator and does not have pharmacokinetic properties in animals. It is not administered systemically to animals.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for Meta-Topolin are limited, as it is used as a plant growth regulator and not intended for human consumption. Standard laboratory safety precautions apply. It may cause skin and eye irritation.
