Detailed explanation-1: -TIBA (2, 3, 5-triiodobenzoic acid) functions as antiauxin.
Detailed explanation-2: -The common anti auxin hormone known widely is PCIB or p-para chloro phenoxy isobutyric acid. This hormone actually competes with auxin to its binding sites (shows competitive inhibition).
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of antiauxins are: NPA-1-N-Naphthylphthalamic acid and TIBA-2, 3, 5-Triiodobenzoic acid are auxin transport inhibitors.
Detailed explanation-4: -IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) is a plant hormone belonging to the auxin family and assists in initiating root formation; the in vitro process is called micropropagation. Aside from accelerating root formation, it is used on various crops to stimulate flower development and the growth of fruits.
Detailed explanation-5: -What is 2, 3, 5-Triiodobenzoic Acid? It is an inhibitor of polar auxin transport and more commonly known as TIBA. Uses : Used as a plant growth regulator and controller. It suppresses somatic embryo formation and postembryonic shoot / root development in Eleutherococcus senticosus.
