Q. From which was zeatin isolated?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

Zeatin is an example of the phytohormone cytokinin. The hormone was discovered from the autoclaved herring sperm DNA. The hormone was isolated from the corn kernels and the coconut milk, where the hormone was responsible for cytokinesis. Zeatin is a cytokinin derived from adenine, which occurs in the form of a cis- and a trans-isomer and conjugates.
