RESUMO

Growth of an auxin-requiring soybean cotyledon callus tissue (Glycine max L., Merr. var. Acme) was promoted by tryptophan, tryptamine, indole, indoleacetamide and, to a very slight degree, anthranilic acid. When tryptophan-3-14C was supplied in the growth medium, labeled indoleacetic acid (IAA) was found in both the tissue and the medium. Medium, from which the cells had been removed, was also found to convert labeled tryptophan to IAA. Soybean callus contained 0.044 μmole/g free tryptophan, but this is apparently not available for conversion to IAA. These results suggest that while exogenously supplied trytophan could elevate a specific internal pool where IAA synthesis occurs some of the growth on a tryptophan medium can be accounted for by external conversion.
