Indole acetic acid (IAA) is a natural auxin found in plants, and synthetic auxins are chemically similar compounds that are created for agricultural use.
While it is possible for synthetic auxins to degrade over time, the degradation does not necessarily involve indole acetic acid specifically. The degradation of synthetic auxins can occur due to various factors such as exposure to light, heat, pH changes, microbial activity, and chemical reactions.
Some synthetic auxins, such as 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), are designed to be more resistant to degradation compared to natural auxins like IAA. This increased stability allows synthetic auxins to have a longer half-life in the environment and provides extended effects.
In conclusion, while synthetic auxins may degrade over time, the degradation process does not specifically involve the degradation of IAA. The stability and degradation rates of synthetic auxins can vary depending on their specific chemical structure and formulation.
