TABLE 2.
Production rates of IAA by infected-plant protein extracts and accumulation of IAM and IAA in C. gloeosporioides f. sp. aeschynomene-infected plants
| Time (h) | Amt (nmol/plant) ofa,b:
|
IAA production by protein extracts (nmol/mg of protein/h)b,c | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IAM | IAA | ||
| 48 | 300a | 230a | 1.4a |
| 96 | 530a | 205a | 13.8b |
a
Indoles were extracted from whole plants 48 and 96 h postinoculation, and the amounts of IAM and IAA per plant were determined.
b
Treatments in the same column that are labeled with different letters are statistically different (P < 0.05) according to the Tukey multiple comparison test.
c
Proteins were extracted from infected plants, and the IAA production rates were determined after a 16-h incubation with IAM.
