Key Findings
- The University of Warsaw study explored how different cytokinins (CKs) affect kale's physiology and bioactive compounds
- Kinetin (Kin) significantly boosted antioxidant activity and improved cell membrane integrity in kale
- 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) enhanced steroidal metabolism, increasing the production of important bioactive compounds
