Research Progress in Cytokinins Analysis

Quantitative trace analysis of cytokinins (CTKs) is of great importance for illustrating the signal transduction and regulation mechanism of CTKs in plants. In this article, analytical methods including immunoassay, gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and electroanalytical technique for CTKs detection are all reviewed. Related sample pretreatment methods are introduced. The future development trend in CTKs analysis is also discussed.
