Abstract: The present invention discloses compositions useful for transfecting eukaryotic cells comprising nucleic acid complexes with peptides, proteins or protein fragments, wherein the peptide is optionally covalently coupled to a DNA-binding group, and cationic lipids useful for transfecting eukaryotic cells. Methods for the preparation of transfecting compositions and use as intracellular delivery agents and extracellular targeting agents are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention describes the use of 5-bromoindole-3-acetic acid (5-B-IAA) as an auxin affecting plant cell growth. The invention relates to the use of 5-B-IAA compositions to affect growth in monocotyledonous as well as in dicotyledonous plants. The invention also describes the use of 5-B-IAA in plant growth affecting compositions for the regeneration of both plant tissues and transgenic plant tissues. Further, the invention provides plant growth affecting compositions comprising 5-B-IAA alone or in a mixture comprising one or more additional plant growth regulators, such as cytokinin, etc.
