Conversion of indole-3-ethanol to indole-3-acetic Acid in cucumber seedling shoots.
Indoleethanol-(14)C was applied to intact cucumber seedlings and to hypocotyl segments. The presence of indoleacetic acid-(14)C in tissue extracts was demonstrated by thin layer radiochromatography. There was no evidence of conversion of indoleacetic acid to indoleethanol. It is suggested that the growth-promoting activity of indoleethanol is due to its conversion to indoleacetic acid.
متن کاملConversion of endogenous indole-3-butyric acid to indole-3-acetic acid drives cell expansion in Arabidopsis seedlings.
Genetic evidence in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) suggests that the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is converted into active indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) by peroxisomal beta-oxidation; however, direct evidence that Arabidopsis converts IBA to IAA is lacking, and the role of IBA-derived IAA is not well understood. In this work, we directly demonstrated that Arabidopsis seedlings c...

متن کاملThe Nitrilase ZmNIT2 converts indole-3-acetonitrile to indole-3-acetic acid.
We isolated two nitrilase genes, ZmNIT1 and ZmNIT2, from maize (Zea mays) that share 75% sequence identity on the amino acid level. Despite the relatively high homology to Arabidopsis NIT4, ZmNIT2 shows no activity toward beta-cyano-alanine, the substrate of Arabidopsis NIT4, but instead hydrolyzes indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN) to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). ZmNIT2 converts IAN to IAA at least se...
متن کاملIsolation of Indole-3-ethanol Oxidase from Cucumber Seedlings.
Previous work in this laboratory has shown that cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings contain large amounts, relative to other indolic compounds, of extractable indole-3-ethanol (IEt); tracer studies have established that IEt is metabolized to IAA. We have now succeeded in isolating an enzyme from these seedlings which catalyzes the oxidation of IEt to indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld). The ident...
