A new enzymatic activity, which catalyses formation in vitro of di-O-(indole-3-acetyl)-D-glucose from 1-O-(indole-3-acetyl)-beta-D-glucose has been found in extracts of Zea mays seedlings. The structure of di-O-(indole-3-acetyl)-D-glucose, not as yet described, has been assigned by GC-MS, 1H NMR and ammonolysis.
