    Product Description

    1,3-Diphenylurea is a cytokinin.1,2 It increases fresh weight of tobacco plant tissue when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 16 mg/L in growth media.1 1,3-Diphenylurea (32 and 100 µM) increases the growth of cultured P. lunatus callus tissue.2 Exogenous 1,3-diphenylurea (32 and 100 µM) added during first-passage culture induces second-passage cytokinin autonomy in cultured P. lunatus tissue.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
