title: Indoleacetic Acid Synthesis by Polyphenols in the Extraction of Pinus Phloem and Cambial Tissue.
abstract: Indoleacetic acid may be formed by polyphenol oxidation of tryptophan during extraction of plant tissue with aqueous or organic solvents. Polyphenoloxidase promotes the conversion, but studies with heat-inactivated tissue indicate that the reaction can proceed without enzymes.
