Encodes an enzyme which specifically converts IAA to its methyl ester form MelIAA. This gene belongs to the family of carboxyl methyltransferases whose members catalyze the transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to carboxylic acid-containing substrates to form small molecule methyl esters. Expression of TCP genes is downregulated in mutant iamt1-D.
