Product Description: Indole-3-butyric acid (3-indolebutyric acid) is a plant growth auxin and a good rooting agent. It can promote herbs and woody ornamental plant rooting and used for improving fruit rate. Indole 3-butyric acid is an auxin precursor, and is converted to indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) in a peroxisomal β-oxidation process[1].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
Formula: C12H13NO2
