Notes: Thidiazuron is a plant growth regulator.{28185} It increases soybean callus and radish cotyledon growth when used at concentrations of 5 nM and 50 µM, respectively.{28185} Thidiazuron (400 nM for seven weeks) induces the dedifferentiation of, and increases seedling number from, cultured geranium hypocotyls.{28186} It induces defoliation in cotton in greenhouse studies when applied at a concentration of 56 g/ha.{66467} Thidiazuron also reduces the viability of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner, as well as increases DNA fragmentation and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells when used at a concentration of 50 µM.{66468} It increases E-cadherin and decreases vimentin levels in, as well as reduces the number of mammospheres formed by, MDA-MB-231 cells when used at a concentration of 50 µM. Formulations containing thidiazuron have been used in the control of plant growth and foliage in agriculture.
