Q. Which are known as a group of chemicals that influence cell division and shoot formation?
Answer: Cytokinins
Notes: Cytokinins or CKs are a group of chemicals that influence cell division and shoot formation. They were called kinins in the past when the first cytokinins were isolated from yeast cells. They also help delay senescence of tissues, are responsible for mediating auxin transport throughout the plant, and affect internodal length and leaf growth.
