PG - 938-44 LID - 10.1016/j.jchromb.2011.03.003 [doi] AB - Plant hormones play crucial roles in plant growth and development. However, up to date, identification and quantification of acidic plant hormones with trace amount in complicated plant matrix is still a challenge. In current study, we developed a high sensitive assay for the determination of acidic plant hormones in rice by combining capillary electrophoresis and electrospray ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-TOF-MS). To improve the detection sensitivity of acidic plant hormones, 3-bromoactonyltrimethylammonium bromide (BTA) was synthesized as a new mass probe, which can react efficiently with acidic plant hormones in acetonitrile containing triethylamine (TEA). The positively charged BTA-derivatives were separated by CE using amino-coated capillary, which provided a reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF) at low pH, as well as reduced the adsorption of BTA-derivatives on the inner wall of capillary. Using the CE-ESI-TOF-MS method developed in current study, 15 acidic plant hormones, including 10 gibberellins (GAs), were identified and quantified with good linearities from 1.3 to 850 ng/mL with linear coefficient R(2) values of >0.99. The limits of detection (LODs) were in the range of 0.34-4.59 ng/mL. Recoveries of compounds from spiked beverage samples ranged from 84.6 to 112.2%. And a good reproducibility was obtained by evaluating the intra and inter-day precisions with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 6.7 and 9.9%, respectively.
