Evidence of zein-bound indoleacetic Acid using gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry analysis and immunogold labeling.

چکیده
Commercial zein was base-hydrolyzed and purified extracts were subjected to gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry analysis. Indoleacetic acid (IAA) was shown to be released from this storage protein of corn (Zea mays). Isotope dilution using [(13)C(6)]IAA as an internal standard revealed a conservative ratio of 1 mole IAA to 175 moles zein. Immunoelectron micrographs of isolated protein bodies also showed IAA or an IAA-like molecule associated with zein and deposited within these organelles.

A Microscale Technique for Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Measurements of Picogram Amounts of Indole-3-Acetic Acid in Plant Tissues.
A microscale technique has been developed for routine quantifications of picogram amounts of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in plant tissues by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Low- and high-resolution selected-ion-monitoring and selected-reaction-monitoring mass spectrometry techniques were compared for selectivity and precision. The best selectivity was obtained with selected-reacti...

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content in shoot tips of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) trees and seedlings was determined by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using a deuterated analog (d(2)-IAA) as an internal standard and the technique of selected ion monitoring. Ratios of the peak heights of the deuterated analog internal standard to endogenous IAA revealed a slig...
متن کاملA Simple Purification of Indole-3-Acetic Acid and Abscisic Acid for GC-SIM-MS Analysis by Microfiltration of Aqueous Samples through Nylon.
A simple procedure was developed for the partial purification of plant tissue samples to be analyzed simultaneously for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA). The procedure relies on removal of contaminants by filtration through nylon and partitioning into dichloromethane. This procedure successfully purified both IAA and ABA from muskmelon, cotton, and broccoli tissue. Twenty indi...
متن کاملQuantification of Melittin in Iranian Honey Bee (Apis mellifera meda) Venom by Liquid Chromatography-electrospray Ionization-ion Trap Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-ESI-IT-MS/MS)
The current research aimed to quantify melittin (MEL) in Iranian honey bee (Apis mellifera meda) venom. To this end, a liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-IT-MS/MS) approach was employed. Melittin is the main toxic peptide of honey bee venom with various biological and pharmacological activities. It was extracted with...

A series of twelve breast milk samples were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) operated in selected ion monitoring mode for 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD). Whilst none of the samples contained 3-MCPD above the limit of detection of 3 microg kg(-1) milk, all contained high amounts of 3-MCPD esterified with higher fatty acids. The levels of 3-MCPD released by hydrolysis o...
