STUDY OF AUXIN BIOSYNTHESIS USING IN VIVO LABELLING

The phytohormone auxin (indole-3-acetic acid ; IAA) plays a fundamental role in various processes of plant growth and development. Crucial for auxin action is the interplay between its transport, biosynthesis, degradation and conjugation. The use of heavy isotope labelling of intermediates in conjunction with mass spectrometry analysis has proven to be a powerful tool for monitoring fluxes through IAA metabolic pathways.
