Thidiazuron-induced growth and developmental changes reshape metabolic, photosynthetic and transcriptomic signatures in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.

It is demonstrated that TDZ exerts distinct and highly dose-dependent physiological effects, delineating a continuum ranging from responses compatible with normal development to those indicative of impaired development to conditions of physiological stress, and providing useful insights for a critical assessment of the benefits and risks associated with the use of this compound.
