Case Study

3-Indolebutyric Acid Promotes the Development of Citrus Root Hairs

Zhang, Dejian, et al. Scientia Horticulturae, 2013, 160, 389-397.

This study compared the development of root hairs in citrus rootstock Trifoliate orange under four culture methods and treatment with 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA) and ethephon (ETH). Among them, for the effects of regulators such as IBA and ETH, the results showed that the optimal concentration of IBA and ETH on root hair growth was 1.0 μmol L -1, and IBA and ETH at this concentration had the strongest promoting effect on the occurrence and elongation of root hairs. And at the same concentration, IBA had a stronger effect on root hair growth than ETH.
Hormone treatments with IBA and ETH
· Following pre-germination, seedlings were subjected to IBA and ETH treatments in a sand culture using seven different methods (control; IBA concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, and 5.0 mol L-1; ETH concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, and 5.0 mol L-1). Each treatment was replicated three times with a total of 27 seedlings. All seedlings received irrigation with 200 ml of Hoagland solution every three days.
· After 30 days of IBA and ETH treatment, the seedlings were harvested. During the root collection process, the containers were broken to carefully dislodge the cultures. The roots were then collected and rinsed gently with distilled water. The lengths of the taproot and lateral roots were measured with a ruler, while the diameter of the taproot was measured using a vernier caliper. For the assessment of taproot length, diameter, as well as lateral root number and length, nine roots were measured each time, and the averages were calculated.

3-Indolebutyric Acid for Preparation of Multilayer Hollow Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

Li, Shanshan, et al. Journal of Separation Science, 2015, 38(15), 2573-2579.

3-Indolebutyric acid (IBA) is a synthetic auxin that can be used for rooting in many plants. A multi-core magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was developed by simultaneously incorporating IBA and ferroferric oxide nanoparticles into a poly(styrene-co-methacrylic acid) (poly(St-co-MAA)) copolymer matrix. The MMIPs can achieve selective extraction of trace amounts of IBA from real samples.
Preparation procedure of MMIPs
· A total of 5.0 mL of styrene, 0.2 mL of methacrylic acid (MAA), and 100 mg of 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) were combined in a 30 mL chloroform solution. The resulting mixture was transferred into a 50 mL autoclave lined with Teflon and heated to 100°C. After 10 hours, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. To precipitate the resulting white poly(St-co-MAA) copolymer, 30 mL of methanol was introduced. The polymer was then purified by dissolving it in 5 mL of chloroform and subsequently precipitating it in 30 mL of methanol over two cycles.
· Next, 300 µL of Fe3O4 magnetic fluid solution, 0.2248 g of isobutyl acrylate (IBA), and 0.5246 g of poly(St-co-MAA) were combined in 4 mL of chloroform. This mixture was then vigorously stirred while being added to 10 mL of a 0.1 g/mL NaOH solution at room temperature. After one hour, the chloroform was evaporated by heating the mixture to 70°C while stirring. Once returned to room temperature, the resulting products were collected and purified through repeated centrifugation and washing with deionized water three times, followed by natural drying at room temperature.
