Abstract
This is a report of the isolation from corn kernels, of four esters of indole-3-acetic acid (IA) and myo-inositol. Two of the esters, B 1 and B 2, contain IA and inositol and two, B 3 and B 4, contain IA, inositol and arabinose. The conjugation of IA with inositol is of possible physiological significance, since IA is a plant growth hormone and inositol is a growth factor ( Pollard et al, 1961 , Letham, 1963). Other reports have indicated the existence of IA conjugates in plant tissues ( cf. Andreae and Good, 1955, Hamilton et al., 1961 , Zenk, 1964).
