'''1-Naphthaleneacetic acid''', commonly abbreviated NAA, is an [[organic compound]] with the [[chemical formula|formula]] C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>7</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>H. This colourless solid is soluble in organic solvents. It features a carboxylmethyl group (CH<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>H) linked to the "1-position" of [[naphthalene]]. NAA is a [[plant hormone]] in the [[auxin]] family and is an ingredient in many commercial [[rooting|plant rooting]] [[horticultural]] products; it is a rooting agent and used for the [[vegetative propagation]] of plants from stem and leaf cutting. It is also used for plant [[tissue culture]].<ref>[http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6800482-description.html Cultured cells of Australian laurel, Pittosporaceae and a method for culturing tissues by using said cultured cells US Patent Issued on October 5, 2004]</ref>
