Abstract
Rooting trials with bean (Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Top Crop L.) tested the effects of phenyl tryptophyl ether (PTRE) in comparison with tryptophol (TR, indole-3-ethanol), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and no treatment. PTRE was synthesized from tryptophol and phenol. Results indicated that IAA treatment enhanced primordium development significantly more than any other treatment that was tested. Effects of TR and PTRE treatment on primordium development were about equal. Results suggested that PTRE is not an auxin or is only a weak auxin in comparison with IAA.
