Abstract

An extract from 8-day-old cotton ovules (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was partitioned into three fractions and each fraction was derivatized and analyzed separately. Gas-liquid chromatography and computer-controlled gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to separate, measure, and identify the naturally occurring plant hormones. A single extract contained abscisic acid, indoleacetic acid, and gibberellins A(1), A(3), A(4), A(7), A(9), and A(13) in the first fraction; ethyl indole-3-acetate and indole-3-aldehyde in the second fraction; and the cytokinins 6-(3-methyl-4-hydroxybutylamino)purine (dihydrozeatin), 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-trans-butenylamino) purine (zeatin), 6-(3-methyl-2-butenylamino)purine(2iP), 6-(3-methyl-2-butenylamino)-9-beta-d-ribofuranosylpurine(2iPA), and 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-trans-butenylamino)-9-beta-d- ribofuranosylpurine (zeatin riboside) in the third fraction.
