| Abstract: | Because of the importance of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in thegrowth and development of plants, extensive studies of the biosynthesisof IAA have been performed during the four decades since thediscovery of IAA as a plant hormone. The pathway for the biosynthesisof IAA in plants remains, however, to be unelucidated, eventhough studies within the past decade have revealed unexpectedaspects of such biosynthesis. By contrast, two pathways to IAAhave been characterized in bacteria at the molecular level:the indole-3-acetamide (IAM) pathway (L-tryptophan |
