    Cytokinin is also known as cell division hormone it brings about the process of cell division in plants. The ratio of cytokinin to auxin controls the process of cell differentiation. A higher cytokinin to auxin ratio brings about the shoot formation while a higher auxin to cytokinin ratio brings about root development. When both of these are present in relatively equal quantities although the cells divide but fail to differentiate.
