α-Naphthalene Acetic Acid (α-NAA) is a synthetic plant growth regulator in the auxin class. It is widely used in plant tissue culture, horticulture, and research to stimulate root formation and regulate plant growth.

Key features and applications:

• Promotes root initiation and elongation in cuttings and tissue culture explants.
• Influences cell elongation, differentiation, and organogenesis.
• Effective at low concentrations, typically in the micromolar range, in plant tissue culture media.
• Supplied as a stable solid powder, suitable for preparation of stock solutions for experimental or culture media use.
