Monomethyl-4-chloroindolyl-3-acetyl-L-aspartate and absence of indolyl-3-acetic acid in immature seeds ofPisum sativum

摘要

A new auxin-related metabolite has been isolated from immature seeds ofPisum sativumand its structure has been determined as monomethyl-4-chloroindolyl-3-acetyl-L-aspartate. Neither indolyl-3-acetic acid nor its methyl ester have been detected in immature seeds by gas-liquid chromatographic analysis.
