2. Cytokinins - stimulate cell division (with auxin), promote
chloroplast development, delay leaf aging, promote formation of buds, inhibit formation of lateral roots produced by root apical meristems and immature fruits.
Produced in root apical meristem and by fruits. Inhibits lateral root growth and stimulates lateral bud growth. The combination of auxin, which inhibits lateral bud growth, and cytokinin, which stimulates lateral bud growth, produce the
growth form of a plant
