The Chloroindole Auxins of Pea and Related Species

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Plant Growth and Development

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 21))

Abstract

The chloroindole auxins of Pisum, Vicia, Lathyrus and Lens species are the strongest natural auxins known. 4-Chloroindole -3-acetic acid is an order of magnitude stronger than IAA. The chloroindole auxins occur in immature seeds to above 10 mg per kg. They are also found in vegetative parts. Five compounds: 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (CIIAA), its methyl ester (CRAM), an aspartate derivative, and two chlorotryptophan derivatives have been found in pea, Pisum sativum L.
