Identification of the true nature and metabolic action of
3
-methyleneoxindole (MO), a naturally occurring catabolite of the plant auxin, indole-
3
-acetic acid (IAA). Description of the two novel methods of synthesis of MO which produce the pure, biologically active auxin compound of MO. Discovery and description of the causes for the erroneous classification of MO as an inert compound with no auxin activity. These findings and methods of synthesis correct the ubiquitous theoretical errors which have driven scientific investigation and plant science research of plant auxins for nearly forty years.
Researchers have failed to observe the auxin activity of MO because of the use of standard but incorrect synthetic techniques which have consistently produced impure forms of
3
-bromooxindole-
3
-acetic acid (
3
-Brox), the synthetic precursor of MO. In addition, the use of dimethylsulfooxide as a solvent for MO has been identified as a major source of contamination of MO during synthesis.
This invention describes two novel methods for synthesizing (MO). By using purified MO and avoiding the use of dimethylsulfoxide, it was found that the resulting MO product to be 100 to 1,00 fold more effective than IAA in promoting rooting in plant cuttings; supporting tissue differentiation and growth in stage I, stage II and stage III media used for the micropropagation of explants; promoting the formation of callus tissue over wounded plant parts; and, stimulating the production of interstitial tissue between scion and rootstock to increase the success rate for grafting. Therefore, this invention identifies MO as the dominant auxin in shoot acceleration, root development, wound sealing and scion acceptance.
Finally, the correct pathway from IAA to MO is presented.
确定 3-羟基-2-甲基丙烷的真正性质和代谢作用

-乙酸(IAA)的天然代谢产物。介绍合成 MO 的两种新方法,这两种方法可生产出纯净的、具有生物活性的 MO auxin 化合物。发现并描述了将 MO 错误地归类为无植物生长素活性的惰性化合物的原因。这些发现和合成方法纠正了近四十年来推动植物辅助素科学调查和植物科学研究的无处不在的理论错误。
研究人员之所以未能观察到 MO 的辅助素活性,是因为他们使用了标准但不正确的合成技术,这些技术一直在生产不纯的 MO

-Brox),这是 MO 的合成前体。此外,使用二甲基亚砜作为 MO 的溶剂已被确定为 MO 在合成过程中的主要污染源。
本发明介绍了两种合成(MO)的新方法。通过使用纯化的 MO 和避免使用二甲基亚砜,发现在促进植物插条生根;支持用于外植体微繁殖的 I 期、II 期和 III 期培养基中的组织分化和生长;促进受伤植物部分形成胼胝组织;以及刺激接穗和砧木之间产生间隙组织以提高嫁接成功率方面,所得到的 MO 产品比 IAA 的效果高 100 至 1,00 倍。因此,本发明确定 MO 是芽加速、根系发育、伤口封闭和接穗接受过程中的主要辅助素。
最后,介绍了从 IAA 到 MO 的正确途径。
