Metabolism of Indole-3-acetic Acid: IV. Biological Properties of Amino Acid Conjugates 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The biological activity of 20 l-α-amino acid conjugates of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) to stimulate cell elongation of Avena sativa coleoptile sections and to stimulate growth of soybean cotyledon tissue cultures has been examined at concentrations of 10−4 to 10−7m. In the Avena coleoptile test, most of the amino acid conjugates stimulated elongation. Several of the conjugates stimulated as much elongation as IAA but their half-maximum concentrations tended to be higher. Some of the more active conjugates were alanine, glycine, lysine, serine, aspartic acid, cystine, cysteine, methionine, and glutamic acid.
