NAA

Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) is a synthetic plant hormone used in plant tissue culture to promote root growth. It’s also used in agriculture and commercial rooting products.

How is NAA used in plant tissue culture?

• Root induction: NAA can promote root formation in plant cuttings and tissue cultures.
• Callus induction: NAA can promote callus formation for somatic embryogenesis and genetic transformation.
• Adventitious shoot formation: NAA can encourage the development of adventitious shoots for plant regeneration from explants.
