Abstract
Research interest concerning the catabolism of the plant hormone IAA has continued since auxin’s discovery in the 1930s, because catabolism is a way for the plant to regulate hormone level and thus hormone activity. Until recently, it was accepted that IAA was decarboxylated during oxidation. The “indole oxidase” was presumed to be peroxidase due to the results from in vitro studies [9, 25] even though chemical evidence for carboxyl-free IAA metabolites in plants was lacking. However, we know now that several plants oxidize the IAA ring with carboxyl-retention as shown unambiguously with physicochemical methods in corn, broad bean, and Scots pine [18, 29, 5]. There is also chemical evidence that a similar pathway may occur in rice [11].
