Abstract
The time course of free and conjugated
indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations was investigated in three distinct
parts (eyes, subeye tissues and pith) of potato
(Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar Monalisa) tubers, from
the last period of tuber growth to sprouting under two different storage
temperatures (3 and 23˚C). The highest levels of both free and conjugated
IAA were detected in eyes, which showed a significant increase of the free
hormone concentration from harvest to the end of dormancy, regardless of
storage temperature. The concentration of conjugates was higher than free IAA
in eyes and subeye tissues at 23˚C, while at 3˚C conjugates
prevailed only in eyes. Present results suggest the involvement of IAA in the
control of potato tuber dormancy.
