Description

Trans-zeatin is a natural product of the shikimic acid pathway that has been studied as a model system for plant metabolism. Trans-zeatin has been shown to be an inducer of enzyme activities and water permeability in plants. The optimum concentration of trans-zeatin varies depending on the species of the plant and the environmental conditions, with values ranging from 0.1-2 μM. Trans-zeatin also has insecticidal properties and can be used as a natural pesticide in agriculture. Trans-zeatin is synthesized by plants through a series of reactions starting with acetyl-CoA and proceeding via four steps to shikimic acid, which is then converted to trans-zeatin by oxidation. This conversion can be facilitated by laser ablation or titration calorimetry.
