Fifty years ago, scientists from the Botany and Biochemistry departments at the University of Wisconsin announced the isolation, crystallization, characterization, and synthesis of 6-furfurylaminopurine (Miller et al., 1955a, 1955b, 1956), a plant hormone in a class now referred to as cytokinins (Skoog et al., 1965). They proposed the trivial name kinetin for this substance, and described its ability to promote cell division in test tissues from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The discovery of kinetin marked the culmination of several years of research on a variety of projects conducted by many people in the two departments.
