《Promotion of rooting in stem cuttings of several ornamental plants by pretreatment with acid or base》 was published in HortScience in 1977. These research results belong to Lee, C. I.; Paul, J. L.; Hackett, W. P.. SDS of cas: 60096-23-3 The article mentions the following:
Rooting of stem cuttings of Bougainvillea cv. San Diego Red, Ceratonia siliqua, Chrysanthemum morifolium cvs. Golden Anne and Mandalay, Euonymus japonica, cv. Yellow Edge, Euphorbia pulcherrima cv. Eckspoint C-1 Red, Hedera helix, Trachelospermum jasminoides, Juglans hindsii, Pistacia chinensis, and Salix laevigata was greatly promoted by basal dipping in 2N H2SO4 prior to applying 3000 ppm IBA K salt (I K salt) [60096-23-3]. Pretreatment with NaOH (pH 10.5) resulted in considerable increase of rooting of cuttings of Rhododendron cv. Sweetheart Supreme, Bougainvillea, Liquidambar styraciflua, Osmanthus heterophyllus cv. Ilicifolius, and Pinus radiataa. In the experiment, the researchers used Potassium 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)butanoate(cas: 60096-23-3SDS of cas: 60096-23-3)
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.SDS of cas: 60096-23-3
