Conversion of indole-3-ethanol to indole-3-acetic Acid in cucumber seedling shoots.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Myo-inositol esters of indole-3-acetic acid are endogenous components of Zea mays L. shoot tissue.
Indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol esters have been demonstrated to be endogenous components of etiolated Zea mays shoots tissue. This was accomplished by comparison of the putative compounds with authentic, synthetic esters. The properties compared were liquid and gas-liquid chromatographic retention times and the 70-ev mass spectral fragmentation pattern of the pentaacetyl derivative. The amount...
متن کاملTranslocation of radiolabeled indole-3-acetic acid and indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol from kernel to shoot of Zea mays L.
Either 5-[3H]indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or 5-[3H]indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol was applied to the endosperm of kernels of dark-grown Zea mays seedlings. The distribution of total radioactivity, radiolabeled indole-3-acetic acid, and radiolabeled ester conjugated indole-3-acetic acid, in the shoots was then determined. Differences were found in the distribution and chemical form of the radiolab...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of indole-3-ethanol (tryptophol) from cucumber seedlings.
Crude ether extracts of green shoots of Cucumis sativus L. promoted the elongation of cucumber hypocotyl segments. Purification of the extract was accomplished by DEAE cellulose, silicic acid, and magnesium silicate chromatography followed by gel filtration and preparative thin layer chromatography. Identification of the growth promoter as indole-3-ethanol was achieved by mass spectrometry, thi...
متن کاملThe Binding of Indole-3-acetic Acid and 3-Methyleneoxindole to Plant Macromolecules.
Homogenates of pea (Pisum sativum L., var. Alaska) seedlings exposed to (14)C-indole-3-acetic acid or (14)C-3-methyleneoxindole, an oxidation product of indole-3-acetic acid, were extracted with phenol. In both cases 90% of the bound radioactivity was found associated with the protein fraction and 10% with the water-soluble, ethanol-insoluble fraction. The binding of radioactivity from (14)C-in...
متن کاملAsymmetric distribution of glucose and indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol in geostimulated Zea mays seedlings.
Indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol occurs in both the kernel and vegetative shoot of germinating Zea mays seedlings. The effect of a gravitational stimulus on the transport of [3H]-5-indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol and [U-14C]-D-glucose from the kernel to the seedling shoot was studied. Both labeled glucose and labeled indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol become asymmetrically distributed in the mesocotyl cor...
