Abstract
Exactly 20 years ago the first report about the merits of meta-topolin as an alternative of benzyl adenine in plant tissue culture was published.
Since then a number of derivatives have been developed: the so called topolins.
Quite a few research groups have shown that these compounds can make the difference between success or failure in the micropropagation system of a plant species.
Recently another structurally related group of cytokinin oxidase inhibitors such as INCYDE and phenyl adenine have been discovered.
The topolins as well as the cytokinin oxidase inhibitors are worthwhile to be added to the plant growth regulator toolbox of a tissue culture lab.
