摘要
A rapid and simple method is described for the determination of indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) levels in Arabidopsis thaliana by gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry (GC-SIM-MS). The method includes derivatization of IPA with hydroxylamine in the crude extract, followed by ethyl acetate partitioning, solid-phase extraction with C-18 resin, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and GC-SIM-MS. Three derivatizing reagents were tested; these were pentafluorobenzylhydroxylamine, pentafluorophenylhydrazine, and hydroxylamine. Hydroxylamine proved to be the most useful, as the TPA-oxime was easiest to purify from plant extracts and was the most stable. IPA was quantified in Arabidopsis seedlings ranging in age from 5 to 12 days; levels varied from 4 to 13 ng/g, peaking at 7-9 days. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
