Products Application
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, CAS# 87-51-4), a naturally occurring plant auxin, finds application in both agriculture and research. Agricultural uses range from promoting root growth in cuttings and preserving flowers and fruits to regulating plant development. In research, IAA is employed in tissue culture, stress-resistance regulation, and physiological investigations. Careful concentration control is required, since inappropriate levels can inhibit growth.
