Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of indoleacetic acid and tryptophan following aqueous chloroformate derivatisation of Rhizobium exudates.

A new method for preparing alkyl esters of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in aqueous solution is adapted from the chloroformate method originally described by Husek for the analysis of amino acids. This method has the significant advantage of avoiding the generation and use of diazomethane, and is done in aqueous solution without the need to dry the sample with concomitant non-specific losses of IAA. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by its use in an isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) assay of IAA and L-tryptophan (Trp) in the culture supernatant of a series of Sinorhizobium meliloti and Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii strains that can interact with rice to either enhance or inhibit rice plant growth. We were testing the hypothesis that the rice growth inhibition was related to the biosynthesis of IAA. It was found that S. meliloti and Rhizobium strains produced high amounts of IAA in Trp supplemented BIII minimal medium compared to BIII media. All the strains produced more than the minimum amount of IAA required to inhibit rice growth and thus IAA is not the major inhibitory factor of rice seedling growth from S. meliloti and Rhizobium strains.

A gene encoding a protein modified by the phytohormone indoleacetic acid.

We show that the expression of an indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-modified protein from bean seed, IAP1, is correlated to the developmental period of rapid growth during seed development. Moreover, this protein undergoes rapid degradation during germination. The gene for IAP1, the most abundant protein covalently modified by IAA (iap1, GenBank accession no. ) was isolated and cloned from bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) seeds. The 957-bp sequence encodes a 35-kDa polypeptide. IAA-modified proteins represent a distinct class of conjugated phytohormones and appear in bean to be the major form of auxin in seeds. IAA proteins also are found at other stages of development in bean plants. Our immunological and analytical data suggest that auxin modification of a small class of proteins may be a feature common to many plants.
