Application Notes
2,4-D has similar mode of actions to other auxins, e.g., adventitious root formation, induction of somatic embryos, cell division, callus formation and growth, inhibition of axillary buds, inhibition of root elongation.
Typical working concentration of 2,4-D ia varied by application and plant species. It has been reported that soybean treated with 2,4-D at concentrations between 5.0 and 10 mg/L stimulated callus growth, while at a much lower concentration such as 0.5 mg/L stimulated new cell formation and cellular enlargement for tobacco callus tissue. 2 Other concentration such as 1-3 mg/L of 2,4-D has been reported to be effective in inducing callus formation of broad-leaf plants. 3 Additionally, 2,4-D is often used together with IAA and L-tryptophan for callus induction and suspension cultures of wheat, pearl millet and rice. 4 2,4-D has also been used in seed testing for the detection of Phoma lingam on Brassica spp when incubated on a blotting paper that has been soaked with 0.2% 2,4-D solution.
