Skoog and Miller in 1955. The first C obtained from a plant was zeatin, which was isolated in 1964 from maize kernels. 

Only Letham and Miller [68 a, 69] appear to have used TLC so far. They compared the zeatin obtained from immature fruit of Zea mays with the maize factor , isolated likewise from maize grains. The preparations, characterised through their kinetin activity, are evidently identical. They accordingly show the same Rf-values in TLC on alumina G with butanone, saturated with water (hRf 58) with ethyl acetate saturated with water IciRf 14) and with chloroform-95% ethanol (10 4- 90, hRf 86, 90 + 10, hRf 61). The compound is 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-trans-2-Giiy ) aminopurine.

Dry-millers process maize in two ways by stone grinding the kernels to produce hominy grits and full-fat whole meals, and by the tempering-degerming or TD process (Figure 7.3). The latter process is the one most commonly practiced by the industry and produces highly refined grits, meals, and flours with extended shelf life.
