IBA ( Indole-3-butyric acid )
Description
IBA interacts with auxin receptors in plant cells, triggering signaling pathways that regulate gene expression and cellular responses. This leads to changes in gene expression patterns that promote root initiation and development.
Mode of Action
IBA stimulates cell division and differentiation in the cambial and pericycle tissues of the stem, where adventitious roots form. This leads to the formation of meristematic cells that give rise to new roots.
Applications
: IBA affects auxin transport within the plant. It is thought to influence the polar auxin transport system, which regulates the directional movement of auxin within plant tissues. By altering auxin distribution, IBA promotes the formation of roots at the site of application.
