Growth and Endogenous Cytokinins in Tobacco Callus as Affected by N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: The effect of N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea (4PU-30) on the growth and content of endogenous cytokinins of adenine type in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) callus was investigated. Biomass accumulation in calli grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 4PU-30 was higher than that on MS medium with kinetin. The obvious presence of isopentenyladenine type cytokinins and traces of zeatin type cytokinins supposes modification in the endogenous cytokinin metabolism of the tobacco callus grown on 4PU-30.
