Notes:
When indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is applied through the basal cut surface of greenwood cuttings from Populus tremula L. with the aim to induce adventitious roots, it is observed that a positive correlation between the number of new roots and the duration of the application exists only for the first 5 to 6 hours. This is most likely due to the induction, during this time, of a metabolic system that transforms IAA to compounds unable to provoke new roots. The most important of these compounds was identified as 2-indolone-3-acetylaspartic acid (OxlAasp). The metabolic pathway from IAA to OxIAasp via indole-3-acetylaspartic acid was demonstrated by thin layer chromatography.
