• Studied to understand plant morphogenesis and hormone signaling.

Functions in Plants:

IAA is essential for:

• Cell elongation (especially in shoots)

• Apical dominance (inhibition of lateral bud growth)

• Root initiation and development

• Tropisms (phototropism and gravitropism)

• Fruit development and flowering
