Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) Solution is a naturally occurring auxin and essential plant growth regulator. It plays a key role in cell division, elongation, and differentiation, making it a vital component in plant tissue culture.
Key Benefits of the IAA Solution
-
Convenient and straightforward to use
-
Ideal for enriching growth media like MS or Gamborg’s media to support callus formation
-
Facilitates both primary and lateral root initiation
-
Regulates crucial developmental processes, including cell division, elongation, and tissue differentiation
How to Use the IAA Solution
Follow these steps to prepare tissue culture media using PCT’s IAA solution:
-
Prepare the liquid tissue culture medium using PCT’s MS, DKW, or another appropriate medium for your plant species.
-
Add sugar based on the media volume (typically 30 grams per litre), 1 ml/L of PPM, and either 3–4 g/L of gellan gum or 6–8 g/L of agar.
-
Add the desired amount of IAA solution.
-
Autoclave the media at 121°C and 15 psi for 20 minutes.
-
Your culture medium is ready for use!
We offer both IAA powder and solution forms of our plant growth regulators to meet different needs:
Powder Form: This is the raw, solid form of the product. It offers a longer shelf life, is cost-effective, and is ideal for customers who prefer to prepare solutions at desired concentrations.
Solution Form: This is a ready-to-use or ready-to-dilute liquid product version. It provides convenience and ensures consistent concentration, saving preparation time. However, it generally has a shorter shelf life and should be stored properly to maintain effectiveness.
Both forms contain the same active ingredient—the choice depends on your application preferences, storage capabilities, and handling needs. We’re happy to assist if you have any questions about usage or preparation.
