EVIDENCE FOR INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID IN BALSAM FIR, ABIES BALSAMEA (L.) MILL.
Canadian Journal of Botany1963Vol. 41(1), pp. 165–173
Abstract
An ether-extractable auxin was discovered in the inner bark of balsam fir. Characterization of the auxin by paper chromatography, Avena bioassay, and chromogenic tests indicates that it is indole-3-acetic acid. A strong growth inhibitor was extracted together with the auxin.
