Abstract

Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was identified by thin layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in kernels and leaves of corn (Zea mays) var. Hazera 224. Free and ester conjugated IBA were present in dry and germinating corn kernels and leaves. This is the first report of IBA in a monocotyledonous plant and, as far as we know, the first evidence for the presence of conjugated IBA.
