Description

Application

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a natural phytohormone (plant auxin) used as a supplement in media such as Murashige and Skoog media and Gamborg′s B5 media. IAA is a plant signaling molecule involved in plant organogenesis and growth control.

3-Indoleacetic acid has been used:

as standard to quantify hormones
to modify MS (Murashige and Skoog) media for the initiation of callus
as an external standard in the analyses of free endogenous growth regulators
