Indocate (Cat No.:I029337) is a naturally occurring plant hormone, commonly referred to as auxin. It plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. Indocate influences processes such as cell elongation, root initiation, and differentiation. It is involved in the regulation of fruit development, leaf senescence, and apical dominance. In agriculture, synthetic auxins like indocate are used as growth regulators to enhance crop yield, control weeds, and stimulate rooting in plant cuttings. Its precise role in plant physiology continues to be studied for potential agricultural applications.

[Article in Russian] Shmukler IuB, Buznikov GA, Grigor’ev NG, Mal’chenko LA. It has been shown that cytotoxic action of neuropharmacological drugs (transmitter antagonists) on early urchin embryos is reduced or abolished by cyclic nucleotides and sodium fluoride. Such a protective action differs in cAMP and dibutyryl analogs of cyclic nucleotides, depending on the chemical structure of an embryotoxic substance. It is suggested that, endogenous intracellular “prenervous” transmitters and cyclic nucleotides are interrelated in the regulation of cell division in urchin embryos.
