Exploring the structure function relationships of analogues of the auxin plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)
Abstract
Previous work has shown that during normal berry development the endogenous auxin, 2-(1H-indol-3-yl) acetic acid (IAA), may inhibit berry ripening. IAA levels are high at flowering and decrease to low levels before the commencement of ripening (veraison).
