Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) have been identified by GC-MS in a purified acidic EtOAc fraction from seeds of
Dalbergia dolichopetala while GC-SIM was used to detect indole-3-ethanol (IEt) in a neutral EtOAc extract. GC-MS and GC-SIM analyses of neutral and acidic EtOAc fractions obtained after base hydrolysis indicated that the seeds also contained ester conjugates of ABA and IAA. Oxindole-3-acetic acid (OxIAA), indole-3-carboxylic acid (ICA) and indole-3-methanol (IM) were not detected in any of the extracts that were investigated.
