“…TDZ (Thidiazuron) is a substituted phenyl urea [1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thidiazol-5-yl)urea] that has immense potential as a cytokinin in shoot organogenesis in a large number of plant systems including legumes (Murthy et al, 1998;Shan et al, 2000;Ganeshan et al, 2003;Onamu et al, 2003;Mroginski et al, 2004;Sharma et al, 2005;Chen and Chang, 2006;Radhika et al, 2006). Since, the observation made by Malik and Saxena (1992) TDZ has been noted to be the most promising cytokinin for shoot induction in chickpea by number of research teams (Barna and Wakhlu, 1993;Huetteman and Preece, 1993;Murthy et al, 1996;Rizvi and Singh, 2000;Jayanand et al, 2003;Senthil et al, 2004;TewariSingh et al, 2004;Kiran et al, 2005).…”
