General description

2-Naphthoxyacetic acid is a plant growth hormone having structure related to auxin and is majorly used to regulate growth of tomatoes, apple and grapes.[1][2]

Application

β-Naphthoxyacetic acid (BNOA) is a phytohormone used as a plant growth regulator on tomatoes and strawberries.
2-Naphthoxyacetic acid has been used as a component for embryo cell suspension maintenance medium.[3] It has been used as a medium component for inducing somatic embryogenesis in grapevine.[4][5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Naphthoxyacetic acid promotes seed germination and early flowering in tomatoes.[6] 2-naphthoxyacetic acid effectively improves fruit size and color. However, it is also regarded slightly hazardous and may contribute to mutagenesis.[7]
