Verified by Toppr

Cytokinin is a plant growth hormone that is basic in nature and is responsible for cell division. This results in cell elongation, growth, and development of plants, they work similar to auxins. Cytokinins are helpful in delaying and stopping the senescence of leaves thus resulting in the process of aging to stop by the mobilization of nutrients in the required part of the plant.
So, the correct statement is 'True'.
