IAA is a naturally occurring plant growth regulator of the auxin family. It’s involved in cell division and elongation aspects of plant growth and development.

The Benefits of Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) Solution

  • Easy to use
  • Used as a supplement in growth media like MS media or Gamborg’s media for callus initiation.
  • Involved in both primary and lateral root initiation.
  • Regulate growth and developmental processes such as cell division, elongation, and tissue differentiation.

How To Use Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) Solution

Follow the given steps to prepare the tissue culture media using PCT’s IAA solution:

  1. Prepare liquid tissue culture media using PCT’s MS, DKW, or any other alternative media. 
  2. Add sugar based on the quantity of media you’re making (generally for 1-liter media 30 grams of sugar is added), 1 ml/L PPM, and 3-4 grams per liter of gellan gum or 6-8 grams per liter of agar.
  3. Then, add the desired quantity of the plant hormone.
  4. Autoclave the medium for 20 minutes at 15 psi and 121℃.

Your media is ready!

Applications

  • This substance plays crucial roles in various aspects of plant physiology, including cell enlargement, division, tissue differentiation, and responses to environmental stimuli such as light and gravity.
  • In plant tissue culture, it fosters the development of organs such as shoots and roots.
  • In horticulture, it is used to promote adventitious root growth.
  • It functions as a vital supplement in growth media formulations like MS media or Gamborg’s media, facilitating callus initiation.
  • Auxin sprays containing IAA can be used in some crops to improve fruit sets and prevent premature fruit drop.
