It is a colorless solid that is prepared by transamidation of urea with aniline. DPU is a cytokinin, a type of plant hormone that induces flower development. The cytokinin effect of DPU is relatively low, but other more potent phenylurea-type cytokinins have been reported.Effect of cytokinin-active phenylurea derivatives on shoot multiplication. T.
