PCT0803-5G is referred as Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) under HiMedia catalogue, category Plant growth regulators. Plant growth regulators are naturally occurring chemicals within plant tissues that regulate the growth and differentiation of plant tissue. Auxin, cytokinins, GA3, acid, Zeatin, ethylene are essential plant growth regulators or hormones. They are usually synthesized in certain part of the plant and moved through the plant from one part to another. Chemicals prepared synthetically or through fermentation processes which imitate the action of naturally occurring growth regulators and are able to modify plant growth in some way, are termed as plant growth regulators. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a Auxin type synthetic plant growth regulator.
