Abstract: Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is one of the auxins that regulate plant growth and development as a plant hormone. The IAA oxidase and peroxidase have been suggested to play a crucial role in auxin metabolism. Evidently the function of two enzymes is to regulate the growth of the plant by adjust the hormonal level of IAA. Advances in research on IAA oxidase and peroxidase were reviewed, which focus on the relationship between these two enzymes and their role in auxin catabolism on biochemical and molecular biology.
