2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, or 2,4-D, is a member of the Auxin family of Plant Growth Regulators, or PGRs.

2,4-D is a potent, synthetic Auxin, typically used in solution form in Plant Tissue Culture applications. It is commonly added to Plant Growth Media (such as Murashige and Skoog Basal Salt Mixture), and is responsible for stimulating shoot growth, and overall plant growth. To this end, it was used as a Herbicide in Amine salt and Ester forms, applied directly to the plant, to cause rapid, uncontrolled growth and plant termination.

2,4-D is commonly used with a Cytokinin, such as 6-Benzylaminopurine.
