CAS 87-51-4: Indole-3-acetic acid
Description:Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a naturally occurring plant hormone belonging to the auxin class, playing a crucial role in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development. It is characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring, with an acetic acid functional group attached at the 3-position. IAA is primarily involved in processes such as cell elongation, apical dominance, root formation, and responses to light and gravity. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits weak acidity, with a pKa value indicating its ability to exist in both protonated and deprotonated forms depending on the pH of the environment. IAA is synthesized in plants from the amino acid tryptophan and can be found in various plant tissues, particularly in young leaves and developing fruits. Its biological activity is influenced by concentration, as well as the presence of other hormones and environmental factors. Overall, indole-3-acetic acid is essential for proper plant growth and adaptation to environmental stimuli.
