Naphthaleneacetic Acid (NAA) Solution

Naphthaleneacetic Acid (NAA) Solution is a synthetic plant hormone belonging to the family of auxin. It has wide application in agriculture and plant tissue culture for promoting rooting in plants.  

The Benefits of NAA

• Easy to use
• Used to modify MS media for callus initiation. 
• In formulating culture media such as V-KM medium and Cg medium
• Induce the formation of lateral and adventitious roots
• Used in a low amount, it triggers the rooting response and other auxin-like reactions, such as cell growth, division, and fruit setting

How To Use NAA

Follow the given steps to prepare the tissue culture media using PCT’s NAA:

1. Prepare liquid tissue culture media using PCT’s MS or DKW media, or any other alternative media based on your plant. 
2. Add sugar based on the quantity of media you’re making (generally for 1-liter media 30 grams of sugar is added), 1 ml/L PPM, and 3-4 grams per liter of gellan gum or 6-8 grams per liter of agar.
