The separation of the water‐soluble auxins of immature kernels of Zea mays cv. Kelvedon Glory, by column chromatography on silica gel was investigated. The relative growth‐promoting properties of the zeanin YZ fraction in relation to Avena coleoptiles and on cress roots, were investigated. It is suggested that the properties of zeanins could be explained if they were N ‐(indole‐3‐acetyl)‐carbamoyl derivatives of carbohydrates.
