Abstract:
DPX-3778, the triethanolamine salt of 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-6-methoxy-s-triazine-2,4(1H,3H) dione, at concentrations of 0.124-2.48 μM enhanced ca. 4-5-fold the proliferation of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38) callus cultured in the presence of indole-3-acetic acid and kinetin, and retarded its senescence.

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
