Shelf life of cut shoots and flowers is prolonged by using the hormone cytokinin. The main reason is that the cytokinin increases retention of chlorophyll and delayed senescence in leaves. Cytokinin is essential for cell division or cytokinesis. It promotes cell division along with auxin by controlling the activity of cyclin dependent kinases.
