Description

Application

Thidiazuron has been used:

• as a component of the proliferation medium to test its effect on the proliferation of embryo-like structures obtained from the post-culture of shoot tips
• as a growth regulator in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media to culture the nodal segments of Hyssopus officinalis L. seedlings
• as a cytokinin in induction media to experiment with the hormonal composition

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is a plant growth regulator and a synthetic diphenylurea cytokinin used in micropropagations to supplement media such as Murashige and Skoog medium. TDZ promotes plant organogenesis (shoot regeneration) and plant regeneration. Thidiazuron (TDZ) enables the production of virus-free stock plants, speeds up breeding, and provides new genotypes for the market. It is also used as a phenylurea herbicide for controlling weeds in agricultural and nonagricultural practices. Thidiazuron acts as a pesticide by inhibiting photosystem II.

Packaging
