Revealing the Arsenal of Plant Defense: Jasmonate Detection Uncovered
Authors: Dr. Tim Iven, Dr. Kirstin Feussner, Dr. Cornelia Herrfurth, Dr. Elmar Herbig | Last updated: April 2024
Overview
Discover the fascinating world of plant self-defense. As the study unveil a ground-breaking method for measuring jasmonates, the chemical warriors in the world of the plants. Using the precision of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), this study provides an unprecedented insight into how plants respond to insect attack.
The use of the Arium® Pro VF TOC system's ultrapure water is a key factor in ensuring the integrity of these sensitive measurements. By quantifying the rapid accumulation of jasmonates after wounding, the research provides a window into the complex signaling networks that show plant immunity, underlining the advances in agricultural science and crop protection strategies.
