TDZ对莴苣(Lactuca sativa L.)器官发生及乙烯形成的影响

为了研究TDZ在植物器官发生中的生理作用,用不同浓度的TDZ替代MS中的BA,发现仅用1／50BA浓度（0．1mg／L）的TDZ处理,已相当于用BA处理所得芽数,可见它具有很强的细胞分裂素活性;但是TDZ又能显著促进乙烯形成,较低浓度时抑制莴苣的器官发生,可能此时乙烯起着主导作用。     

噻二唑苯基脲在平贝母脱分化过程中引起的生理生化变化

平贝母(Fritillaria ussuriensis Maxim)鳞茎切块分别在含噻二唑苯基脲(TDZ)或激动素(Kin)的培养基上脱分化过程中的苯丙氨酸解氨酶、淀粉酶、吲哚乙酸氧化酶和过氧化物酶活性均增强,在外植体脱分化前达到峰值,随后下降。TDZ处理下这些酶的活性均高于Kin处理。可溶性蛋白含量的变化趋势与酶活性变化相同,只是TDZ作用下蛋白含量增加的相对水平较低。说明TDZ具有比Kin更强的细胞分裂素活性。

Thidiazuron: A potent regulator ofin vitro plant morphogenesis

Summary TDZ (N-phenyl-N’-1,2,3-thidiazol-5-ylurea) is a substituted phenylurea compound which was developed for mechanized harvesting of cotton bolls and has now emerged as a highly efficacious bioregulant of morphogenesis in the tissue culture of many plant species. Application of TDZ induces a diverse array of cultural responses ranging from induction of callus to formation of somatic embryos. TDZ exhibits the unique property of mimicking both auxin and cytokinin effects on growth and differentiation of cultured explants, although structurally it is different from either auxins or purine-based cytokinins. A number of physiological and biochemical events in cells are likely to be influenced by TDZ, but these may or may not be directly related to the induction of morphogenic responses, and hence, the mode of action of TDZ is unknown. However, the recent approaches applied to study the morphogenic events initiated by TDZ are clearly beginning to reveal the details of a variety of underlying mechanisms. Various reports indicate that TDZ may act through modulation of the endogenous plant growth regulators, either directly or as a result of induced stress. The other possibilities include the modification in cell membranes, energy levels, nutrient uptake, or nutrient assimilation. In this review, several of these possiblities are presented and discussed in light of recently published studies on characterization of TDZ-induced morphogenic effects.     

The mode of action of thidiazuron: auxins,indoleamines, and ion channels in the regeneration of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Echinacea purpurea</Emphasis> L.

The biochemical mechanisms underlying thidiazuron (TDZ)-induced regeneration in plant cells have not been clearly elucidated. Exposure of leaf explants of Echinacea purpurea to a medium containing TDZ results in undifferentiated cell proliferation and differentiated growth as mixed shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. The current studies were undertaken to determine the potential roles of auxin, indoleamines, and ion signaling in the dedifferentiation and redifferentiation of plant cells. E. purpurea leaf explants were found to contain auxin and the related indoleamine neurotransmitters, melatonin, and serotonin. The levels of these endogenous indoleamines were increased by exposure to TDZ associated with the induction of regeneration. The auxin-transport inhibitor 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid and auxin action inhibitor, p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid decreased the TDZ-induced regeneration but increased concentrations of endogenous serotonin and melatonin. As well, inhibitors of calcium and sodium transport significantly reduced TDZ-induced morphogenesis while increasing endogenous indoleamine content. These data indicate that TDZ-induced regeneration is the manifestation of a metabolic cascade that includes an initial signaling event, accumulation, and transport of endogenous plant signals such as auxin and melatonin, a system of secondary messengers, and a concurrent stress response.

Thidiazuron [N-phenyl-N-(1, 2, 3-thidiazol-5-yl) urea, TDZ] treatment significantly improved shoot morphogenesis of Saussurea involucrata Kar. Et Kir (S. involucrata) leaf explants. The biochemical mechanisms underlying TDZ-induced shoot organogenesis were investigated by measuring endogenous plant growth hormones, H₂O₂, as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The levels of endogenous gibberellic A3 (GA₃) and zeatin (ZT) significantly increased in leaf explants subject to a 28-day treatment than the controls. However, extending exposure time to TDZ inhibited GA₃ accumulation. At the same time, the SOD activity increased significantly until the 28th of TDZ treatment time and the CAT activity reduced simultaneously, which was closely linked with the significant increase in H₂O₂ concentrations in the explants. And there was a sharply promotion after the 35 day of culture time if the plant tissue was always in medium contained, which was in company with the cell activity decreased. We propose that a combination of increased GA₃, ZT, and H₂O₂ concentration is the basis for the enhanced shoot morphogenesis in response to TDZ treatment. These results provide a starting point for an improved understanding of the biochemical mechanisms underlying TDZ-induced shoot organogenesis of S. involucrata.     

Pretreatment of seeds with thidiazuron delimits its negative effects on explants and promotes regeneration in chickpea (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cicer arietinum</Emphasis> L.)

Thidiazuron (TDZ) is an important cytokinin-like substance used in plant tissue culture. However, long exposure of plant tissues to TDZ results in abnormal regeneration. The present study reports an efficient regeneration protocol that avoids the TDZ overexposure to chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) tissues. Two separate experiments were designed for seed pretreatment with TDZ, of which the first one involved short-term pretreatment with various concentrations of TDZ (15, 20 and 25 µM), whereas the second one lacked TDZ pretreatment. Axillary meristem explants prepared from TDZ-pretreated and TDZ-non-pretreated seeds were then analyzed in shoot induction medium (SIM) with or without 4 µM TDZ. Thus, four conditions were chosen to analyze the effect of TDZ: (i) TDZ pretreatment only without TDZ in SIM, (ii) TDZ pretreatment along with TDZ in SIM, (iii) no TDZ pretreatment but there was TDZ in SIM, and (iv) there was neither TDZ pretreatment nor TDZ supplied in SIM (control). The response in terms of percent regeneration (69%), number of shoots per explant (20.66?±?0.5), minimum number of days taken for multiple shoot induction (7.3?±?0.5) and effective rooting was the highest under the condition (i) with 20 μM TDZ pretreatment without subsequent TDZ supplementation into the SIM. In addition, shoot elongation medium (SEM-3) having 5 μM benzyladenine, 2 μM kinetin and 2 μM gibberellic acid showed the highest branching and maximum shoot length. In conclusion, we reported an easy and efficient regeneration method in chickpea using TDZ pretreatment only, which showed qualitative multiple shooting and effective rooting.     

Thidiazuron: a potent cytokinin for woody plant tissue culture

Thidizuron (TDZ) is among the most active cytokinin-like substances for woody plant tissue culture. It facilitates efficient micropropagation of many recalcitrant woody species. Low concentrations (<1 µM) can induce greater axillary proliferation than many other cytokinins; however, TDZ may inhibit shoot elongation. In some cases it is necessary to transfer shoots to an elongation medium containing a lower level of TDZ and/or a less active cytokinin. At concentrations higher than 1 µM, TDZ can stimulate the formation of callus, adventitious shoots or somatic embryos. Subsequent rooting of microshoots may be unaffected or slightly inhibited by prior exposure to TDZ. The main undesirable side effect of TDZ is that cultures of some species occasionally form fasciated shoots. The high cytokinin activity and positive response of woody species to TDZ have established it as among the most active cytokinins forin vitro manipulation of many woody species.     

Rooting and shooting: dual function of thidiazuron in in vitro regeneration of soybean (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Glycine max.</Emphasis> L)

Thidiazuron (TDZ), primarily a cotton defoliant, has been later accepted as a plant growth regulator. In spite of extensive studies, the physiological function of TDZ is still uncertain. The aim of the present experiment was to study the activity of TDZ in in vitro regeneration of soybean. The seeds of soybean were cultured separately on MS and B5 medium supplemented with TDZ. The hypocotyls, cotyledons, cotyledonary nodes without axillary buds and cotyledonary nodes with axillary buds were used as explants and their capacity to direct regeneration was tested on both MS and B5 media containing TDZ (0.9–5.4 μM). Shoot formation was observed only on cotyledonary nodes with axillary buds cultured on MS and B5 basal media with TDZ (0.9–5.4 μM). All tested explants cultured on B5 medium with TDZ produced roots. Root formation was not observed on MS basal media supplemented with TDZ. Results show that TDZ functions as cytokinin (to produce the shoots) and auxin (to produce the roots) on various explants depending on the basal medium used.
