Description

Indole-3-Acetyl-L-Glutamic Acid (Iaglu) is a conjugated derivative of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the amino acid L-glutamic acid. This compound is of significant interest in plant physiology research as a key intermediate in auxin metabolism and homeostasis. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the agricultural biotechnology and plant science sectors for studying auxin signaling pathways, developing plant growth regulators, and formulating advanced crop enhancement products.

Application

• Plant Physiology & Biochemistry Research: A critical standard and reagent for investigating the biosynthesis, conjugation, and catabolism pathways of the auxin hormone IAA.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Used in the development and screening of novel plant growth regulators and bio-stimulants aimed at improving crop yield and stress tolerance.
• Phytochemical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for the quantification of IAA metabolites in plant tissue samples using techniques like HPLC-MS.
• Seed Treatment & Formulation: A potential active ingredient or precursor in advanced seed coating formulations designed to modulate early seedling growth and development.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Essential for university and government laboratories conducting fundamental research on plant hormone signaling and interaction networks.
