What is Indole-3-Acetic Acid?
3-Indoleacetic acid, also known as auxin, is a common plant growth regulator that can promote flowering, induce the development of parthenocarpic fruits, and delay fruit ripening.
Indole is a compound of pyrrole and benzene. Also known as benzopyrrole. There are two ways of combining them, called indole and isoindole. Indole and its homologs and derivatives are widely present in nature, mainly in natural flower oils, such as jasmine, bitter orange, narcissus, fragrant rose, etc. For example, indole was first derived from the degradation of indigo; indole and its homologs also exist in coal tar; essential oils (such as jasmine essential oil, etc.) also contain indole; feces contains 3-methylindole; Dyes are derivatives of indole; tryptophan, an essential amino acid in animals, is a derivative of indole; some natural substances with strong physiological activity, such as alkaloids, plant auxins, etc., are all derivatives of indole. Indole is an imine with weak basicity; the double bond of heterocyclic ring generally does not undergo addition reaction; it can undergo dimerization and trimerization under the action of strong acid; under special conditions, it can carry out aromatic electrophilic reaction. In the reaction, the hydrogen at the 3-position is preferentially removed. For example, if sulfonyl chloride is used to react, 3-chloroindole can be obtained. Various reactions can also occur at the 3-position, such as the formation of Grignard reagents, condensation with aldehydes, and Mannich reactions.
Indole-3-Acetic Acid Uses
Indole-3-acetic acid is used as a plant growth regulator, which can promote cell division, accelerate root formation, increase fruit setting, and prevent fruit drop.
Indole acetic acid (IAA) is an indole-type broad-spectrum plant growth regulator with auxin activity; it regulates cell membrane electron channels and proton channels.
Indole-3-acetic acid is used as a plant growth stimulant and analytical reagent. 3-Indoleacetic acid and 3-indoleacetaldehyde, 3-indoleacetonitrile, ascorbic acid and other auxin substances naturally exist in nature. The precursor of 3-Indoleacetic acid biosynthesized in plants is tryptophan. The basic function of auxin is to regulate the growth of plants. It not only promotes growth, but also inhibits growth and organ building. Auxin not only exists in a free state in plant cells, but can also exist as bound auxin that is firmly bound to biopolymers, etc. There are also auxins that form conjugates with special substances, such as indole acetyl asparagine. , indole acetate apentose and indole acetyl glucose, etc. This may be a way of storing auxin within cells and a way of detoxifying excess auxin.

Application of Indole-3-Acetic Acid
Used as plant growth stimulant and analytical reagent. 3-Indoleacetic acid and 3-indoleacetaldehyde, 3-indoleacetonitrile, ascorbic acid and other auxin substances naturally exist in nature. The precursor of 3-Indoleacetic acid biosynthesized in plants is tryptophan. The basic function of auxin is to regulate the growth of plants. It not only promotes growth, but also inhibits growth and organ building. Auxin not only exists in a free state in plant cells, but can also exist as bound auxin that is firmly bound to biopolymers, etc. There are also auxins that form conjugates with special substances, such as indole acetyl asparagine. , indole acetate apentose and indole acetyl glucose, etc. This may be a way of storing auxin within cells and a way of detoxifying excess auxin.
At the cellular level, auxin can stimulate cambium cell division; stimulate branch cell elongation and inhibit root cell growth; promote xylem and phloem cell differentiation, promote cutting rooting, and regulate callus morphology.
At the organ and whole-plant levels, auxin acts from seedling to fruit maturity. Auxin controls reversible red light inhibition of mesocotyl elongation in seedlings; when indoleacetic acid is transferred to the lower side of the branch, it produces gravitropism; when indoleacetic acid is transferred to the backlight side of the branch, it produces phototropism of the branch ; Indoleacetic acid causes apical dominance; delays leaf senescence; auxin applied to leaves inhibits abscission, while auxin applied to the adaxial end of the abscission layer promotes abscission; auxin promotes flowering, induces the development of parthenocarpic fruits, and delays fruit maturity.
How to Use Indoleacetic Acid?
- Soak the flowers of tomatoes in the flowering stage with 3000 mg/L of medicinal solution to induce parthenocarpy and fruit setting of tomatoes, forming seedless tomato fruits and increasing the fruit setting rate.
- Root soaking promotes the rooting of apples, peaches, pears, citrus, grapes, kiwis, strawberries, poinsettias, dianthus, chrysanthemums, roses, magnolias, rhododendrons, tea, metasequoia, poplar and other crops, induces the formation of adventitious roots, and accelerates vegetative reproduction. Speed, generally use 100-1000 mg/L to soak the base of the cuttings. For types that are easy to root, use a lower concentration, and for types that are difficult to root, use a slightly higher concentration. The soaking time is about 8-24 hours, the concentration is high, and the soaking time is short.
Spray chrysanthemums (under a 9-hour photoperiod) with 25-400mg/L liquid once to inhibit the emergence of flower buds and delay flowering.
