Indole-3-Ethanol Metabolism and Its Possible Role in the Regulation of Indole-3-Acetic Acid Biosynthesis

  • Conference paper
Plant Growth Substances 1988

Abstract

Indole-3-ethanol was discovered by Ehrlich [5] in 1912, as a metabolite of tryptophan added to yeast cultures, and given the trivial name tryptophol. The compound is also present in products of yeast fermentation, such as beer and wine [6] and, as one of the constituents determining flavor, has not ceased to attract the attention of brewers and enologists [e.g. 10]. As tryptophol contains the same C-N backbone as IAA, some common pathways of biogenesis and metabolism have long been anticipated. Details have, however, been slow to emerge. The older literature was reviewed earlier [e.g. 33, 38], and we will try to incorporate recent data into the classical concepts.
