Abstract
3-INDOLYLACETIC ACID has long been recognized as a naturally occurring plant auxin, but the problems of its origin, mode of action and metabolism are not yet fully elucidated. In particular, several pathways for the in vitro degradation of 3-indolylacetic acid by oxidase systems have been postulated, but no unequivocal evidence for the chemical nature of the products from such reactions has yet been presented.
