Route of formation of auxins

• The major route for the production of IAA is
• Tryptophan-dependent Pathway.

  There is a similarity between the chemical
  structure of IAA and the protein amino acids
  tryptophan .Tryptophan is precursor of auxin
  biosynthesis.

                                                                                                                                                                                    439
