The present research aimed to establish conditions for synchronized plantlet regeneration from rice callus based on a quantitative analysis of the relationship between intracellular 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) concentration and shoot regeneration rate. To prepare the rice calli with different intracellular 2,4-D concentrations prior to regeneration, callus precultures were carried out in medium containing 4 mg/l 2,4-D and in 2,4-D-free medium for predetermined periods. As the critical intracellular 2,4-D concentration of the calli precultured in 2,4-D-free medium was too low to analyze precisely by conventional analytical methods, it was estimated using a kinetic model which described the behavior of 2,4-D by taking its uptake, metabolism and/or inactivation rates during the callus preculture into consideration. An experimental relationship between intracellular 2,4-D concentration and regeneration rate of rice calli revealed that the intracellular 2,4-D concentration should be controlled as low as 2.6 X 10(-2) microgram/g fresh weight to reach the same synchronization in shoot regeneration as seen with rice seed germination. This condition was realized by feeding sugar into the 2,4-D-free medium after 4 days preculture when the carbon source was exhausted.
