The concentration of free indoleacetic acid (IAA) is high in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fruiting forms before anthesis, but is low at and for a few days after anthesis. Amide-linked and ester IAA were measured in fruiting forms at 9, 6, and 3 days before anthesis; at anthesis; and at 2, 4, 7, and 9 days after anthesis to determine if free IAA decreased because it was converted to a conjugated form. That did not appear to be the case. While the major decrease in free IAA occurred during the 6 days before anthesis, ester IAA increased only a small amount and amide-linked IAA decreased even more than free IAA. During the 6 days before anthesis free IAA decreased from 0.62 to 0.12 micrograms per gram and amide-linked IAA decreased from 19.14 to 1.16 micrograms per gram dry weight. No evidence was found that a large amount of amide-linked IAA was converted to an insoluble form; flowers contained less than 1 microgram per gram of insoluble IAA. The free and amide-linked IAA must have been converted to other forms, perhaps by oxidation. Soluble amide-linked IAA remained low after anthesis. No ester IAA was detected 6 days before anthesis and only 0.08 microgram per gram dry weight was measured at anthesis. The concentration of ester IAA increased thereafter to 4.43 micrograms per gram at 9 days after anthesis. Therefore, amide-linked IAA was the major form of IAA in flower buds and ester IAA was the major form in young fruits (bolls). Minimum concentrations of free and total IAA occurred during the 4 days after anthesis, a stage when cotton fruiting forms are most likely to abscise. The large decreases in free and amide-linked IAA during the 6 days before anthesis may indicate a rapid turnover of IAA in flower buds. But, the decrease in free IAA was not accompanied by a comparable increase in ester or amide-linked IAA.
