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.

Application of Triiodobenzoic
Acid:
In the presence of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), an auxin polar
transport inhibitor, embryo formation from embryogenic cells are
suppressed, while cell division are not affected. When globular
embryos at different stages are transferred onto medium containing
TIBA, development of axial and bilateral polarity is suppressed
in a stagespecific manner. In abnormal embryos induced by TIBA,
further development of shoot and root apical meristems and vascular
differentiation is also suppressed. Thus, abnormal development of
embryos induced by inhibition of triiodobenzoic acid results in
plantlets without shoots and roots.
