| 2-Naphthoxyacetic acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | 2-Naphthoxyacetic acid is Gray crystals
| | Uses | 2-Naphthoxyacetic acid is a phytohormone used as a plant growth regulator on tomatoes and strawberries.
| | Uses | 2-Naphthoxyacetic Acid is a derivative of Naphthalene (N345600) and considered to be a phytohormone belonging to the class of auxins. | | Uses | 2-Naphthoxyacetic acid has been used as a component for embryo cell suspension maintenance medium. It has been used as a medium component for inducing somatic embryogenesis in grapevine. | | General Description | 2-Naphthoxyacetic acid is a plant growth hormone having structure related to auxin and is majorly used to regulate growth of tomatoes, apple and grapes. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | 2-Naphthoxyacetic acid promotes seed germination and early flowering in tomatoes. 2-naphthoxyacetic acid effectively improves fruit size and color. However, it is also regarded slightly hazardous and may contribute to mutagenesis. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the acid from hot water or *benzene. [Beilstein 6 IV 4274.] |
