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

The Benefits of Thidiazuron (TDZ) Powder

  • Easy to use
  • Effective in stimulating shoot multiplication from explants (tissue samples) in micropropagation
  • Used to supplement tissue culture media, such as MS media.
  • Help overcome apical dominance
  • Crucial for the micropropagation of some plants. 

How To Use Thidiazuron (TDZ) Powder

Follow the given steps to prepare the tissue culture media using PCT’s TDZ Powder:

  1. Prepare liquid tissue culture media using PCT’s MS or DKW media, or any other alternative media based on your plant.
