  - Application Description
    
    Plant Biology Applications: The influence of TIBA and abiotic stress on gene expression of bPIN, SbLAX and SbPGP gene families was studied in Arabidopsis, rice and sorghum. Authors analyzed the chromosome distribution, gene duplication, and intron/exon distribution. TIBA did not increase expression of auxin transporter genes. The transcription of the auxin transporter genes was controlled by auxin transport inhibitors, but it had no connection to the TIBA concentration used (Shen et al, 2010).
    TIBA can suppress somatic embryo formation and postembryonic shoot/root development in Eleutherococcus senticosus and somatic embryo formation in Ginseng (Panax ginseng).
