3-Indoleacetic acid suitable for plant cell culture, crystalline
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
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.
