Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) Powder

Description:

Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) is a natural plant growth regulator from the auxin family, essential for cell division and elongation processes in plants. This hormone promotes root initiation, tissue growth and differentiation, and plays a vital role in plant development in cultures.

Features:

• Easy to use as an additive in growth media, such as Murashige & Skoog (MS) or Gamborg’s medium.
• Promotes both primary and lateral root formation.
• Regulates growth and developmental processes such as cell division, elongation, and tissue differentiation.

Preparation guide:

• Prepare the culture medium (e.g., MS or DKW) as required.
• Add sugar (30 g/l), PPM (1 ml/l), and a gelling agent (3–4 g/l gellan gum or 6–8 g/l agar).
• Add the required amount of IAA.
• Sterilize the medium in an autoclave at 121 °C for 20 minutes.
• The medium is ready for use.

Usage:

• Plays a significant role in cell enlargement, division, and tissue differentiation.
• In plant tissue culture, supports the development of shoots and roots.
• Used in horticulture to promote adventitious root formation.
• Serves as an important additive in growth media for callus initiation.
• Can be applied as an auxin spray to increase fruit set and prevent premature fruit drop.
