Measurement of Indolebutyric Acid in Plant Tissues by Isotope Dilution Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analysis

摘要

An internal standard, [¹³C][indole-2]-indole-3-butyric acid, was synthesized from indole-2[¹³C] and was shown to be effective for the quantitative determination of indole-3-butyric acid from plant tissue. When this standard was used along with [¹³C6]indole-3-acetic acid, both indolic auxins could be quantified from the same tobacco (Nicotiana tabacam) leaf sample by isotope dilution analysis using selected ion monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for detection.
