How do I prevent photodegradation of natural auxin (IAA) in MS media? I am planning to conduct root length studies with IAA over a length of 7 days, hence I want to make sure my IAA concentration stays constant.
By wrapping the container with aluminium foil
thanks Mohamed, but i was wondering how to prevent photo degradation and yet conduct experiments in light.
yes ok , but you can add to the media charcoal, might darkening the media and prevent IAA photooxidation
