Title: Cytokinin activity of N-phenyl-N′-1, 2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea (thidiazuron)
Abstract: The plant growth regulator N-phenyl-N′-1, 2, 3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea (Thidiazuron) displayed high activity in promoting the growth of cytokinin-dependent callus cultures of Phaseolus lunatus cv. Kingston. The cytokinin activity of Thidiazuron was similar to that of the highly active N-phenyl-N′-4-pyridylurea derivatives and to the most active cytokinins of the adenine type. Replacement of the phenyl ring of Thidiazuron with other ring structures resulted in a decrease in cytokinin activity.
