  2. Auxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxin

    If the source of auxin is removed, such as by trimming the tips of stems, the roots are less stimulated accordingly, and growth of stem is supported instead. In horticulture, auxins, especially NAA and IBA, are commonly applied to stimulate root initiation when rooting cuttings of plants. However, high concentrations of auxin inhibit root ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indole-3-butyric_acid

    In plant tissue culture IBA and other auxins are used to initiate root formation in vitro in a procedure called micropropagation.Micropropagation of plants is the process of using small samples of plants called explants and causing them to undergo growth of differentiated or undifferentiated cells.

  4. Plant hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_hormone

    Most commonly they are commercially available as "rooting hormone powder". The propagation of plants by cuttings of fully developed leaves, stems, or roots is performed by gardeners utilizing auxin as a rooting compound applied to the cut surface; the auxins are taken into the plant and promote root initiation.

  5. Cutting (plant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(plant)

    A rooting hormone may be administered to "encourage" growth and can increase the success rate of plant growth. [18] Though not essential, several compounds may be used to promote the formation of roots through the signaling activity of plant hormone auxins.

  6. Indole-3-acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indole-3-acetic_acid

    Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 3-IAA) is the most common naturally occurring plant hormone of the auxin class. It is the best known of the auxins, and has been the subject of extensive studies by plant physiologists. [1] IAA is a derivative of indole, containing a carboxymethyl substituent. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in polar organic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willow_water

    Willow water is a traditional method to extract the rooting hormone indolebutyric acid from willow (Salix) trees, which is believed to be present in sufficient quantities to stimulate root growth. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  8. 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Naphthaleneacetic_acid

    NAA is a synthetic plant hormone in the auxin family and is an ingredient in many commercial horticultural products; it is a rooting agent and used for the vegetative propagation of plants from stem and leaf cuttings. It is also used for plant tissue culture. [2]

  9. Hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone

    Right: auxin transport from leaves to roots in Arabidopsis thaliana. A hormone (from the Greek participle ὁρμῶν, "setting in motion") is a class of signaling molecules in multicellular organisms that are sent to distant organs or tissues by complex biological processes to regulate physiology and behavior.
