Overview of 3-Indoleacetic Acid
3-Indoleacetic Acid (IAA) is a naturally occurring plant hormone of the auxin class widely used in plant growth regulation, tissue culture, and agricultural research. It plays a key role in cell elongation, root initiation, and plant development.
IAA is primarily applied in agriculture, horticulture, plant biotechnology, and research laboratories. It is strictly an industrial and laboratory chemical, not intended for food or cosmetic use.
Application of 3-Indoleacetic Acid
Plant Growth & Agricultural Applications
Used to stimulate root formation, promote cell elongation, and enhance fruit development in crops and ornamental plants.
Valuable in tissue culture and plant propagation, especially for cuttings and callus induction.
Can be interlinked with related products such as microcrystalline wax, chalcone, and silver-dibenzyl-phosphate from the ChemicalBull catalogue.
Research & Biotechnology Applications
Applied in plant physiology studies and molecular biology research.
Used to study auxin signalling pathways, gene expression, and plant developmental processes.
Commonly employed in laboratory experiments for plant tissue culture and hormone regulation studies.
Industrial & Horticultural Applications
Used in commercial plant propagation and hydroponics systems to improve rooting efficiency and plant growth uniformity.
Often combined with cytokinins and other plant hormones for balanced growth promotion.
