Indole-3-acetic Acid (IAA) and IAA Conjugates Applied to Bean Stem Sections: IAA Content and the Growth Response.

High resolution growth recording techniques and reverse isotope dilution analysis were used to study the relationship between indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentration and curvature of excised bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Bush Burpee Stringless) first internode sections unilaterally treated with hormone. The maximum rate of curvature occurred rapidly (within 25 minutes) and was proportional to...

Evidence That IAA Conjugates Are Slow-Release Sources of Free IAA in Plant Tissues.

Evidence that indoleacetic acid (IAA) conjugates are metabolized via enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis to free IAA and that their biological activities are related to the rates at which they are hydrolyzed by the tissue is presented. These conclusions are based on the following observations. Slow but continuous decarboxylation of the IAA moiety of IAA-l-alanine and IAA-glycine occurs when these conju...

Learning to parse with IAA-weighted loss

Natural language processing (NLP) annotation projects employ guidelines to maximize inter-annotator agreement (IAA), and models are estimated assuming that there is one single ground truth. However, not all disagreement is noise, and in fact some of it may contain valuable linguistic information. We integrate such information in the training of a cost-sensitive dependency parser. We introduce f...

Subcellular Localization of IAA Oxidase in Peas.

Indoleacetic acid (IAA) oxidase has been reported to be involved in plant growth because of its alleged role in the control of endogenous IAA levels. This purported role was reevaluated in terms of the properties and subcellular location of the enzyme in etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Alaska) epicotyls.The enzymic properties of IAA oxidase in the floating pea epicotyl segments are similar...
