The formation of tryptophol glucoside in the tryptamine metabolism of pea seedlings

Abstract
Tryptamine was converted by etiolated pea seedlings into IAA, tryptophol, and an appreciable amount of an unknown metabolite. This latter compound was characterised by TLC and electrophoresis and identified, by mass spectrometry and enzymatic cleavage, as tryptophol glycoside: indole-3-ethyl-β-d-glycopyranoside.
