Cytokinins are well known to have synergistic effects with auxins.  At very low concentration, cytokinins may increase the number of shoots of cereal species and promote the growth of stems.  They may interact with auxin and gibberellic acid in regulating cell division and cell enlargement in the plants.  They may increase root growth.  The increase in root growth is necessary for water and nutrient uptakes which will then result in better plant growth and increased yield.

On cereal crops, when applied at 4-6 leaf stages cytokinins can increase the number of tillers.  It can also improve head development and hence results in better yield.

Cytokinins have been found to break dormancy of potato buds.  Application of cytokinins to seed pieces have shown to promote early potato and root growth.  Research results on foliar application have shown significant tuber yield increases and tubers of a more uniform size.  The increase in tuber yield and uniformity in tuber size may be a result of cytokinins affect the distribution of metabolites.

Cytokinins affect flowering of grapes. It increases the number of berries set.  In some cultivars, it increases the number and weight of berry set.  The application of cytokinins 2 to 3 weeks before bloom may enhance the proportion of perfect flowers and hence increases the number of berry set.

Reduced fruit drops was observed on fruit trees receiving foliar application of cytokinins.  Cytokinins may also affect fruit set and fruit development.  Application of cytokinins together with gibberellins has shown to increase fruit sizes.  Amino acid cysteine and its derivatives, thioproline, are activators for plant metabolism which leads to increased plant growth and yield.  Thioproline when entered into plants will affect proline metabolism.  It will also form Forrnilcysteine and cysteine which can release the thio (-SH) groups to be used as activators for plant metabolism.
