Abstract
Despite indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) being an important regulator of many aspects of higher plant growth and development, much less is known about IAA biosynthesis than is generally realised. In the proposed study, with light-grown Hordeum vulgare (barley) seedlings, qualitative and quantitative information will be obtained on IAA biosynthesis from tryptophan and non-tryptophan precursors using normal and gibberellin deficient dwarf mutants; the influence of gibberellin on these processes will be investigated.
