1-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA)

NAA — Plant Growth Regulator

1-Naphthaleneacetic Acid, commonly known as NAA, is a synthetic auxin used in plant tissue culture and horticultural research for plant cell division and root induction.

NAA is supplied as an individual plant growth regulator for users who want to customise their own culture media formulations or follow fixed protocols. Thus providing great flexibility for the user.

Use in Plant Tissue Culture

NAA may be incorporated into customised culture medium formulations where an auxin is required.

The appropriate concentration and application depend on:

• Plant species
• Cultivar
• Explant type
• Culture stage
• Other components in the medium
• The protocol being followed

For this reason, users should select concentrations and protocols appropriate to their specific application.

Pair NAA with

• MS Medium + Vitamins
• Sucrose
• Plant tissue culture agar

And other compatible components according to your chosen protocol.

Suitable for

• Plant tissue culture
  
• Experimental culture formulations
  
• Educational use
  
• Horticultural research
