✦ Synopsis
Degradation of indole-3-aeetie acid was investigated in etiolated pea shoots; the study was limited to indolic metabolites. The products formed were fractionated by column chromatography and identified by thin-layer chromatography and chemical methods. The pathway of indole-3-acetic acid degradation involving indole-3-aldehyde was found to be more significant than stated in literature, and indole-3-methanol was established as the major indolic metabolite.

After oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid with ceric nitrate in the presence of hydroxylamine, a stable colored complex extractable to isoamyl alcohol is formed. This reaction is useful for the calorimetric estimation of indole-3-acetic acid in biological mixtures. The colored complex (whose chromopho
