Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references 6-Benzylaminopurine, benzyl adenine or BAP is a first-generation synthetic cytokinin that elicits plant growth and development responses, setting blossoms and stimulating fruit richness by stimulating cell division. It is an inhibitor of respiratory kinase in plants, and increases post-harvest life of green vegetables.
6-Benzylaminopurine was first synthesized and tested in the laboratories of plant physiologist Folke K. Skoog.
