Encodes an IAA-amido synthase that conjugates Ala, Asp, Phe, and Trp to auxin. Lines overexpressing this gene accumulate IAA-ASP and are hypersensitive to several auxins. Identified as a dominant mutation that displays shorter hypocotyls in light grown plants when compared to wild type siblings. Protein is similar to auxin inducible gene from pea (GH3).
