1-Naphthylacetic acid (1-NAA) emerges as a naturally occurring plant hormone with a pivotal role in plant growth and development. Belonging to the auxin family of plant hormones. Recent years have witnessed extensive research on 1-Naphthylacetic acid, fueled by its potential applications across various domains such as agriculture, biotechnology, and medicine. In vitro studies, it facilitates the examination of auxin′s effects on cell proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, 1-Naphthylacetic acid enables the exploration of auxin′s influence on gene expression and protein synthesis. Such versatile applications position 1-Naphthylacetic acid as a component in scientific research. Being an auxin hormone, 1-Naphthylacetic acid assumes the role of a signaling molecule, orchestrating a diverse array of biological processes in plants. By binding to auxin receptors, it initiates a cascade of biochemical reactions, ultimately regulating gene expression, protein synthesis, and other vital cellular processes. This pivotal signaling mechanism highlights the significance of 1-Naphthylacetic acid in plant physiology.
