Application

1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) is a synthetic phytohormone auxin that is added to cell culture media such as Murashige & Skoog media and Chu′s N6 media.
1-Naphthaleneacetic acid has been used:
  • to modify MS media for the initiation of callus
  • as a supplement in solid K3 medium for the selection of transformants
  • in the preparation of culture medium like V-KM medium and Cg medium

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-Naphthaleneacetic acid is one of the synthetic auxins, used in plant propagation. It can induce the formation of lateral and adventitious roots.
