As the primary endogenous auxin, IAA regulates phototropism, gravitropism, apical dominance, and vascular differentiation. In agriculture, synthetic IAA applications mimic these natural processes to stimulate adventitious root formation, enhance graft union success, and improve stress recovery in transplanted seedlings.
Common methods include rooting hormone dips (500-1500 ppm for cuttings), foliar sprays (10-100 ppm for stress mitigation), and tissue culture media supplementation (0.1-5 mg/L). Seed treatments (1-10 ppm) improve germination uniformity in hard-to-sprout species.
It increases rooting percentages (by 30-70% depending on species), accelerates root initiation timing (by 5-10 days), and enhances root system architecture with more fibrous secondary roots compared to untreated controls - critical for successful transplant establishment.
Responses follow a strict dose curve: low concentrations (0.1-1 ppm) stimulate root initiation, moderate levels (1-10 ppm) promote cell elongation, while high doses (>50 ppm) inhibit growth and may induce ethylene-related stress responses. Optimal rates vary dramatically between species and even cultivars.
It exhibits complex crosstalk - synergistic with cytokinins for callus induction but antagonistic for shoot/root determination. Balanced ratios with abscisic acid regulate stress responses, while ethylene biosynthesis often follows IAA application peaks.
