Abstract The metabolism of radioactive metabolites of BA, obtained from tomato shoots, and purified by chromatographic techniques, was studied in rootless tomato shoots and soybean callus. There is apparently a great deal of interconversion between BA, BAR and BARMP. From the present results it is not possible to determine whether BARMP is formed directly from BA or whether BAR serves as an intermediate in its production. Irrespective of the metabolite applied, the principal metabolite formed in all instances had a retention time of 51 min following HPLC separation. This metabolite was itself not metabolized to any great extent by either tomato shoots or soybean callus. In contrast to tomato shoots this metabolite was not formed when a radioactive metabolite tentatively identified as BAR, was applied to soybean callus.
