Abstract: | Seasonal levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) present in buds, meristematic tissues, and leaves of 1-year-old shoots of two
selections (vigorous and dwarf) of a F2 generation apple population with original “Goldspur” × “Redspur” parentage were determined using gas chromatography—selected
ion monitoring—mass spectrometry (GC-SIM-MS) with a13C-IAA internal standard. A comparison of IAA levels through one growing season was made in the shoots of two trees differing
in growth. The levels of IAA in the leaves of the vigorous tree were higher in the early and late growing seasons, as compared
to those in the dwarf tree. Levels of IAA in buds of the dwarf tree shoots were found to be higher than in those of the vigorous
tree shoots.
