6-Benzylaminopurine (BA) was the first synthetic cytokinin discovered and was synthesized days after the structure of kinetin was determined in 1955 (Amasino 2005; Armstrong 2002). Like other cytokinins, BA promotes cell division, shoot proliferation and organogenesis, aids in the maintenance of the shoot-apical meristem, disrupts apical dominance, and delays senescence. It was one of the first commercially produced cytokinins for delaying senescence in food and cut flowers (Salunkhe et al. 1962) and remains one of the most popular cytokinins used to stimulate in vitro shoot development.

BA is stable through one autoclave cycle (Hart et al. 2016) 
We also provides BA solution (1 mg/mL), PT-B130.
