Description

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is a plant growth regulator and a synthetic diphenylurea cytokinin, commonly used in plant tissue culture to encourage shoot regeneration, organogenesis, and somatic embryogenesis.

Benefits of Thidiazuron (TDZ)

Simple to use

Highly effective for stimulating shoot multiplication from explants (tissue samples) during micropropagation

Ideal for supplementing tissue culture media such as MS medium

Helps reduce apical dominance

Essential for the micropropagation of certain plant species

How to Use Thidiazuron (TDZ) Solution

To prepare tissue culture media using PCT’s premium-grade agar, follow these steps:

Prepare liquid tissue culture media using PCT’s MS or DKW media, or another suitable medium depending on your plant type.

Add sugar according to the amount of media prepared (typically 30 grams per litre), 1 ml/L of PPM, and either 3–4 g/L of gellan gum or 6–8 g/L of agar.

Add the required amount of Thidiazuron (TDZ).

Autoclave the medium for 20 minutes at 15 psi and 121°C.
