Effect of IAA on Biochemical and Phytochemical Content of Catharanthus

The book "Effect of IAA on Biochemical and Phytochemical Content of Catharanthus" by Muthulakshmi Sekar provides a comprehensive examination of the effects of Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on the growth parameters as well as the biochemical and phytochemical content of the plant Catharanthus roseus. This plant is known for its medicinal properties, particularly in cancer treatment, and contains important active compounds such as Vincristine and Vinblastine. The study analyzes the response of Catharanthus to various concentrations of IAA to determine the optimal conditions for growth and the production of bioactive compounds. By using different concentrations of IAA, it demonstrates how these can influence the growth and development of the plant, which is significant for commercial use and research.
