Title Cytokinins from Marine green alga, Caulerpa racemosa (Kuetz) Taylor
 
Creator Kaladharan, P

Subject Seaweed
Algae
 
Description Cytokinin - like substances were extracted from green seaweed, Caillerpa raceniosa and
purified using an ion exchange column of CM-cellulose. Bioassay of these extracts with darkgerminated
cotyledons of cucumber for chlorophyll biosynthesis proved the presence of
cytokinin - like substances in the extract of C. racenzosa. The efficiency of the extract was
comparable to that of commercially available kinetin. The study is indicative of strong
possibilities of producing cytokinin from unutilized and commonly occurring C. raceniosa on
a commercial scale and at low cost.
