Struve, Daniel K.; Arnold, Michael A. published an article in Canadian Journal of Forest Research. The title of the article was 《Aryl esters of indolebutyric acid increase root regeneration in 3-0 red oak seedlings》.COA of Formula: C12H12KNO2 The author mentioned the following in the article:
Dormant 3-0 red oak seedlings (Quercus rubra) were given a 3-s basal dip in 20 mM solutions of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) [133-32-4], the K salt of IBA (K-IBA) [60096-23-3], N-phenyl indolyl-3-butyramide (NP-IBA) [104055-89-2], phenyl indole-3-thiolobutyrate (P-ITB) [85977-73-7], or phenyl indolyl-3-butyrate (P-IBA) [72218-92-9]. Seedlings dipped in water or 95% EtOH served as controls. Fifty-six days after treatment, seedlings treated with NP-IBA and P-ITB regenerated ≥3-fold more roots (48.7 and 40.0 roots, resp.) than did EtOH-treated control seedlings, which regenerated 14.3 roots. Seedlings treated with P-IBA regenerated 26 roots per seedling. Seedlings treated with NP-IBA and P-ITB had smaller leaves than IBA- and K-IBA treated seedlings. NP-IBA treated seedlings had more leaves than IBA- or K-IBA treated seedlings (155.3 vs. 59 and 53.3, resp.), but had similar leaf surface area. P-ITB-treated seedlings had similar numbers of leaves as IBA- and K-IBA-treated seedlings, but leaves were smaller in size, resulting in less total leaf area. P-IBA-treated seedlings had the greatest total leaf surface area, 1509 cm2; water- and EtOH-treated seedlings had total leaf surface areas of 1271 and 866 cm2, resp. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Potassium 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)butanoate(cas: 60096-23-3COA of Formula: C12H12KNO2)
Potassium 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)butanoate(cas: 60096-23-3) is auxin-family plant hormone, and is thought to be a precursor of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) the most abundant and the basic auxin natively occurring and functioning in plants. IAA generates the majority of auxin effects in intact plants, and is the most potent native auxin.COA of Formula: C12H12KNO2
