Auxins are a group of phytohormones that control plant growth and development . Their crucial role in plant physiology has inspired development of potent synthetic auxins that can be used as herbicides . Phenoxyacetic acid derivatives are a widely used group of auxin herbicides in agriculture and research.

Obesity results from excessive caloric input associated with overeating and presents a major public health challenge. The hypothalamus has received significant attention for its role in governing feeding behavior and body weight homeostasis. However, extrahypothalamic brain circuits also regulate appetite and consumption by altering sensory perception, motivation, and reward.

A major barrier exists for propagating valuable plants that naturally have low capacity to form ARs. Due to the central role of auxin in organogenesis, indole-3-butyric acid is often used as part of commercial rooting mixtures, yet many recalcitrant plants do not form ARs in response to this treatment.
