Benzylaminopurine or benzyladenine , or BAP for short , is a synthetic phytohormone that is used in cell and tissue culture .
For the first time, BAP was synthesized and examined in the laboratory of the Swedish plant physiologist Folke Karl Skoog .
In 2010 the EU carried out a risk assessment of the substance.
It belongs to the first generation of synthetically produced cytokinins and has a positive influence on plant growth. BAP influences flower and fruit formation by stimulating the rate of cell division .
