TDZ：一种有效的植物生长调节剂

人工合成的苯基脲衍生物TDZ（N-苯基-N′-1,2,3-噻二唑-5-脲）是已被广泛用于植 物组织培养形态发生的高效生物调节剂。它能诱导外植体从愈伤组织形成到体细胞胚胎发生 的一系列不同反应，具有生长素和细胞分裂素双重作用的特殊功能。近年来通过研究TDZ启 动的形态发生事件，人们正逐渐揭示出其内在作用机理。许多研究报告指出TDZ通过调节内 源植物生长激素起作用，或者是诱导逆境产生起间接作用。它还能调节细胞膜结构、能量水 平、营养吸收和同化作用。本文将探讨TDZ几种可能的作用机理，并概述近年来有关TDZ诱导的植物离体形态发生效应研究进展。

TDZ: An Efficacious Plant Growth Regulator

TDZ(N-phenyl-N’-1,2,3-thidiazol-5-yl-urea) is a substituted phenylurea compound and has 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. The recent app roaches 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 substances, 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 possibilities are presented and summarized in light of recently published studies on characterization of TDZ-induce dmorphogenic effects.
