Description

Indole-3-Acetyl-L-Aspartic Acid is a key conjugated plant hormone derivative, specifically an aspartate conjugate of the primary auxin, Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA). This compound plays a critical role in plant physiology as a major storage and transport form of auxin, offering a more stable and regulated mechanism for hormone activity. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the plant science, agricultural biotechnology, and plant growth regulator sectors. The product is supplied under the identifier CAS No. 2456-73-7.

Application

• Plant Physiology & Biochemistry Research: A vital standard and reagent for studying auxin metabolism, conjugation, transport, and signaling pathways in plants.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Used in developmental studies to understand and potentially manipulate processes like root initiation, apical dominance, and fruit development.
• Plant Tissue Culture: Employed in media formulations to regulate cell division, elongation, and differentiation in a controlled, stable manner.
• Synthesis of Advanced Plant Growth Regulators: Serves as a sophisticated precursor or intermediate for developing next-generation agrochemicals with targeted action.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Critical for the accurate quantification and identification of auxin metabolites in plant extracts via HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS.
