Early changes in the concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) were investigated in the larger axillary bud of 2-week-old Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Tender Green seedlings after removal of the dominant apical bud. Concentrations of these two hormones were measured at 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours following decapitation of the apical bud and its subtending shoot. Quantitations were accomplished using either gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring (GS-MS-SIM) with [13C6]-IAA or [2H6]-ABA as quantitative internal standards, or by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, validated by GC-MS-SIM. Within 4 hours after decapitation the IAA concentration in the axillary bud had increased fivefold, remaining relatively constant thereafter. The concentration of ABA in axillary buds of decapitated plants was 30 to 70% lower than for buds of intact plants from 4 to 24 hours following decapitation. Fresh weight of buds on decapitated plants had increased by 8 hours after decapitation and this increase was even more prominent by 24 hours. Anatomical assessment of the larger axillary buds at 0, 8, and 24 hours following decapitation showed that most of the growth was due to cell expansion, especially in the intermodal region. Thus, IAA concentration in the axillary bud increases appreciably within a very few hours of decapitation. Coincidental with the rise in IAA concentration is a modest, but significant reduction in ABA concentration in these axillary buds after decapitation.
