precursor of cytokinin
Dear Student,
In the biosynthesis of Cytokinin, the isopentenyl group is transferred from Dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) to an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) using the enzyme isopentenyl transferase (IPT), thereby forming isopentenyl adenine ribotide. The naturally occurring Cytokinin is Zeatin.
Therefore adenosine moiety acts as precursor for its biosynthesis.
