Untitled[edit]

you posted an abstract, but from where?

Relocation[edit]

I have taken off the following text because it is not directly related to the article. Rather, I think it would better belong to callus or cell culture. (I also fixed some grammar errors and typos.)

The technique developed by F. Skoog proved to be ideal for the study of the regeneration capacity of callus cultures. Callus and tissue cultures can both be kept in light or in dark. Under light exposure, the cells at the surface produce plastids, chlorophyll and carotenoids.
Callus cultures are useful for many purposes of pure and applied research. Among these are:

The production of secondary plant products and enzymes by tissue cultures.

Their use for the synthesis of starting compounds that are subsequently modified to yield the desired product.

Their use as starting material for the vegetative propagation of plants.

Their use as basic material for high-yield cultivars (maintenance breeding).

Their reverting to tissue cultures allows the conservation of virus- or fungi-free and resistant cell lineages.

references[edit]

I tried to revise the references by making it conform to the harvard referencing format; however, it is way too hard, and I must have made some mistakes along the way. Somebody's definitely got to help out here. Also, I took out the sentence "see series of papers by Barciszewski J. et al. on the natural identification of kinetin, such as", but it might be a good notice for anyone who want to add any more citations to the article.

You may not have taken us 100% of the way there, but that was some good editing. Thanks for that. I'll give it another look when I get the chance. --SierraSciSPA (talk) 16:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stuff about coconut milk[edit]

Not sure what this is doing here. A bit of research suggests the active ingredient of coconut milk is zeatin, not kinetin. Perhaps it should be moved to the general cytokinin page? 217.171.129.74 (talk) 23:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carlos Miller?[edit]

Why is there a redirect from Carlos Miller to Kinetin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.164.135.105 (talk) 21:23, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it's because Carlos Miller is one of the people who isolated kinetin for the first time. But it looks silly to have this circular redirect. If anyone wants to create a real page at Carlos Miller, the following sites might be useful; http://www.bio.indiana.edu/events/lectures/miller.shtml , http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1176392/ , http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/guttman/student/olc2/chap39outline.html . Or maybe Carlos Miller should just be deleted? Jowa fan (talk) 12:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

It would be helpful if someone could put a phonetic spelling in to this article. Ive heard the word pronounced two different ways and I'd like to know which is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.205.140.136 (talk) 20:22, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
