Involves synthesizing labeled versions of two putative indole-3-acetic acid precursors, which will then be injected into wild-type pea seeds.

After a suitable length of time, the seeds will be harvested and their extracts analysed for label incorporation. Several feeding studies to determine the relationship between IAA and another auxin, 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid will be conducted by myself
