Melvan said:Aspirin's main ingredient is Auxin, auxin is a natural rooting compound found in willow bark. My mother would make a willow bark tea and use it for rooting cuts from rose bushes.

A growing body of evidence indicates that many plant pathogens can either produce auxin themselves or manipulate host auxin biosynthesis to interfere with the host's normal developmental processes [5-11]. In response, plants probably evolved mechanisms to repress auxin signaling during infection as a defense strategy.
Plants overaccumulating the defense signal molecule salicylic acid (SA) frequently display morphological phenotypes that are reminiscent of auxin-deficient or auxin-insensitive mutants, indicating that SA might interfere with auxin responses.
We found that SA causes global repression of auxin-related genes, including the TIR1 receptor gene, resulting in stabilization of the Aux/IAA repressor proteins and inhibition of auxin responses.
We demonstrate that this inhibitory effect on auxin signaling is a part of the SA-mediated disease-resistance mechanism.
Melvan said:If you use aspirin you only allow 1/2 the pill to dissolve, then remove it. The auxin is the pill "cap", the center is the cold tar base.
