Under nonsterile conditions, IAA can be extracted from pea stem sections infiltrated with buffer, IAA, or tryptophan. This IAA has microbial origin, since its occurrence is prevented by antibiotics. All infiltrated IAA disappears in the sections. Under sterile conditions, several inhibitors of IAA oxidase prevent the complete disappearance of infiltrated IAA. Some of them permit, by preventing the disappearance of produced IAA, the formation in vivo of extractable IAA amounts from tryptophan. This IAA production is further increased by pyridoxal (phospbate), and by α‐ketoglutarate.
