Abstract
Abiotic stress is the main cause of low productivity in plants. Therefore, it is important to detect stress and respond to it in a timely manner to avoid irreversible damage to plant productivity and health. The application of traditional methods in agriculture is limited by expensive equipment and cumbersome sample processing. More effective detection methods are urgently needed due to the trace amounts and low stabilities of plant biomarkers. Electrochemical detection methods have the unique advantages of high accuracy, a low detection limit, fast response and easy integration with systems. In this review, the application of three types of electrochemical methods to phytohormone assessment is highlighted including direct electrochemical, immunoelectrochemical, and photoelectrochemical methods. Research on electrochemical methods for detecting abiotic stress biomarkers, including various phytohormones, is also summarized with examples. To date, the detection limit of exogenous plant hormones can reach pg/mL or even lower. Nevertheless, more efforts need to be made to develop a portable instrument for in situ online detection if electrochemical sensors are to be applied to the detection of the endogenous hormones or the physiological state of plants. Additionally, plant-wearable sensors that can be directly attached to or implanted into plants for continuous, noninvasive and real-time monitoring are emphasized. Finally, rational summaries of the considered methods and present challenges and future prospects in the field of abiotic stress detection-based electrochemical biosensors are thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abscisic acid (ABA) functions as a stress phytohormone in many growth and developmental processes in plants. The ultra-sensitive determination of ABA would help to better understand its vital roles and action mechanisms. RESULTS We report a new sensitive and high throughput quantitative real time immuno-PCR (qIPCR) method based on biotin-avidin linkage system for ABA determination in plants. ABA monoclonal antibody (McAb) coated on the inner surface of PCR well pretreated with glutaraldehyde. The pre-prepared probe complex, including biotinylated McAb, biotinylated DNA and streptavidin linker, was convenient for high throughput operations. Finally, probe DNA was quantified by real-time PCR. The detectable ranges were from 10 to 40 ng/L with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.5 fg. ABA contents in plant sample were simultaneously analyzed using LC-MS/MS to validate the qIPCR method. The results showed that qIPCR method has good specificity and repeatability with a recovery rate of 96.9%. CONCLUSION The qIPCR method is highly sensitive for ABA quantification for actual plant samples with an advantage of using crude extracts instead of intensively purified samples.

Abstract
A hybridoma cell line that produces a monoclonal antibody specific for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was prepared. The DNA fragments coding the variable regions of the light and the heavy chains of the antibody were prepared by PCR using the cDNA of the antibody as a template. A chimera DNA for a single chain variable fragment (scFv) was constructed, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The scFv antibody expressed in E. coli as well as the original monoclonal antibody showed a specific binding to IAA.

Abstract
New miniaturized techniques for multiplying microalgae and estimating their phytohormone production were developed; in these methods, the strains to be tested are cultivated in microtitre plates, and the phytohormones in suspensions of the cultures are measured by direct ELISAs. Specific and sensitive ELISAs for determining abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), cis- and trans-zeatin riboside, isopentenyladenosine (iPR), and other less common cytokinins were developed for this purpose. Polyclonal antibodies used in the ABA and IAA assays were raised against C1- and C1'- conjugates of the compounds with BSA, respectively, and thus were specific for the free acids and their respective C1-derivatives. The use of cytokinin ribosides coupled via their sugar residues to BSA as haptens generally led to antibodies that bound free bases, 9-glycosides and nucleotides, but with high specificity for the corresponding N(6) -side chains. Using internal standards, dilution assays, and authentic [(2) H] and [(3) H] recovery markers, it was shown that the ELISAs could be used to estimate contents of the selected phytohormones in the cultures. The ELISAs provided reliable and very fast estimates of the selected phytohormones, at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 10 pmol · mL(-1) in various microalgal strains. In addition, a recently developed HPLC selected ion monitoring mass spectrometry (HPLC-SIM-MS) method was used to calibrate and validate the ELISA results and confirm the presence of the detected phytohormones in immunoaffinity-purified extracts. Where independent validation of results is deemed necessary, the use of quantitative HPLC-MS is recommended for each new microalgal strain to be tested.

Abstract
Indoleacetic acid (IAA)-binding single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) were isolated from a naive phage-display library constructed from the heavy chain antibody repertoire of a Ilama. The highest-affinity sdAb isolated (CSF2A) had a K(D) of 5-20 microM for two IAA-protein conjugates and a K(D) of 20 microM for free IAA. This sdAb also bound to a synthetic auxin analogue, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and to six auxinic herbicides (K(D) values of 0.5-2 mM), but not to serotonin and tryptophan, which are structurally similar to IAA but have no auxinic activity. To understand how sdAb CSF2A binds IAA and to determine which complementary-determining region(s) (CDR) participate(s) most in binding IAA, CSF2A was shuffled with four other sdAb clones by staggered extension process (StEP). After panning against IAA, two shuffled sdAbs were found: sdAb CSB1A, which originated from three different parental clones, and sdAb CSE8A, derived from two parental clones. These shuffled sdAbs and CSF2A were each fused to the B subunit of the Escherichia coli verotoxin, resulting in the formation of the pentamerized sdAbs V2NCSB1A, V2NCSE8A, and V2NCSF2A, which were analyzed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) along with the sdAbs previously isolated. The shuffled clones had affinity for IAA (20 microM) similar to that of the highest affinity parental clone CSF2A, but much lower affinity for the auxinic herbicides. CDR2 was instrumental in binding IAA, whereas hydrophobic CDR3 was important for binding the auxinic herbicides. A novel SPR methodology is also described for specific immobilization of pentamerized sdAbs, allowing determination of K(D) values of Ab interaction with underivatized, low molecular weight haptens.

Abstract
Immunolocalization of auxin using a new specific antibody revealed, besides the expected diffuse cytoplasmic signal, enrichments of auxin at end-poles (cross-walls), within endosomes and within nuclei of those root apex cells which accumulate abundant F-actin at their end-poles. In Brefeldin A (BFA) treated roots, a strong auxin signal was scored within BFA-induced compartments of cells having abundant actin and auxin at their end-poles, as well as within adjacent endosomes, but not in other root cells. Importantly, several types of polar auxin transport (PAT) inhibitors exert similar inhibitory effects on endocytosis, vesicle recycling, and on the enrichments of F-actin at the end-poles. These findings indicate that auxin is transported across F-actin-enriched end-poles (synapses) via neurotransmitter-like secretion. This new concept finds genetic support from the semaphore1, rum1 and rum1/lrt1 mutants of maize which are impaired in PAT, endocytosis and vesicle recycling, as well as in recruitment of F-actin and auxin to the auxin transporting end-poles. Although PIN1 localizes abundantly to the end-poles, and they also fail to support the formation of in these mutants affected in PAT, auxin and F-actin are depleted from their end-poles which also fail to support formation of the large BFA-induced compartments.

Abstract
Indole-3-acetic acid is an indispensable hormone (auxin) in plants and an important metabolite in humans, animals, and microorganisms. Here we introduce its 5- and 6-(2-aminoethyl)-derivatives for use in the design of novel research tools, such as immobilized and carrier-linked forms of indole-3-acetic acid and its conjugates with biochemical tags or biocompatible molecular probes. The aliphatic nitrogens of 5- and 6-(2-aminoethyl)indole were acetylated and the products were converted to the corresponding 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)methyl derivatives (gramines). These were reacted with cyanide. Saponification of the resulting acetonitriles was accompanied by N-deprotection to yield 5- and 6-(2-aminoethyl)indole-3-acetic acids. The latter were chemically stable and could be linked, via their amino groups, and without prior protection of their carboxyl moieties, to bovine serum albumin and to biotin, including appropriate spacer modules. One of the protein conjugates was used to elicit the formation of monoclonal antibodies, which were evaluated using the biotin conjugates in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay employing streptavidin-coupled alkaline phosphatase, and thus shown to recognize predominantly the indole-3-acetic acid moiety.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies were produced against a very small (131.2 Da) hapten, 3-methylindole. Nine derivatives of 3-methylindole were synthesised with spacers ending in a carboxyl group, and coupled to immunogenic carriers and europium chelate labels. Almost all the antigens elicited an antihapten response, but the majority of the mAbs produced strongly recognised the spacer group and did not bind free 3-methylindole. However, specific antibodies were obtained with five immunogens. Specificity could be directed against the pyrrole ring by locating the bridging group to the aromatic moiety of the indole ring system. Any modification in the position 3 of the indole ring strongly hindered mAb binding to the compound, and the cross-reactivity of physiologically important compounds, such as tryptophan and tryptamine, was negligible for all of the mAbs. The developed hapten structures successfully focused antibody recognition to the important sub-determinants in the indole ring system. Similar constructs could also be useful in the development of antibodies against other indolic compounds.

Abstract
The endogenous indole auxins of red-light grown pea (Pisum sativum L.) epicotyls were investigated. Immunoaffinity purification of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and its methylester was achieved using two monoclonal antibodies. Antibodies against free IAA were raised against IAA-C5-BSA, a hapten-carrier-conjugate giving rise to highly specific antibodies for indole auxins with a free acetic-acid group at position 3. Immunoaffinity adsorbents prepared with these antibodies were used for single-step purification of extracts of Alaska pea epicotylar tissue prior to quantification by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with on-line fluorescence detection. Monoclonal antibodies against a hapten-carrier-conjugate with IAA linked to bovine serum albumin through the carboxyl group (IAA-C1'-BSA) were used for the isolation of IAA esters. Indol-3-acetic acid was identified in the elongation zone of the third internode of red-light-grown Alaska pea. 4-Chloro-indole-3-acetic acid, a constituent of immature pea seeds which is considered to be a very active auxin, was absent from the elongation zone. Several compounds were retained by the column based on antibodies against IAA-C1'-BSA. Of these the methylester of IAA was identified by HPLC with on-line fluorescence detection, by co-migration in thin-layer chromatography and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The methyl ester of IAA was very active in promoting elongation of pea third-internode segments. When fed to the epicotylar segments the IAA methylester was rapidly metabolized with IAA being the major metabolite. The methylester of IAA should therefore be classified as a labile auxin conjugate.

Abstract
A solid phase indirect enzyme immunoassay method for the plant growth substance indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) using polyclonal antibodies raised to IAA linked to rabbit serum albumin (RSA) is described. The sensitivity for IAA increased by more than three orders of magnitude as the number of IAA ligands on the coating antigen decreased. Further improvements in assay sensitivity were limited by the high affinity of the antibodies for the bridge group in the IAA conjugate. Substitution of the IAA in the coating antigen by either indole-3-propionic acid or indole-3-lactic acid reduced antibody recognition of the bridge group. The resulting heterologous assay compares favourably with existing homologous immunoassays for IAA in terms of sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Immunoassay techniques using the highly specific and sensitive nature of immunological reactions have been developed and applied in the food industry for detecting the naturally occurring constituents, antibiotics, pesticide residues, microorganisms, and fragments of microbial constituents related to food analysis, food production, food processing, and food safety. Both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are employed for the development of the various immunoassay systems, including enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA). Immunoassay techniques provide complementary and/or alternate approaches in reducing the use of costly, sophisticated equipment and analysis time, but still maintaining reliability and improved sensitivity. Immunoassay techniques in their most simple forms provide excellent screening tools to detect adulteration and contaminations qualitatively. The application of immunoassay techniques contributes tremendously to the quality control and safety of our food supply.

Terminal buds, nodes, hypocotyl segments and root tips were submitted to a periodate-borohydride procedure, to obtain the coupling of isopentenyladeosine and zeatin riboside to cellular proteins, followed by a fixative step with a paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde mixture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests performed on ovalbumin-coated microtitration plates have shown that this method was effective for CK riboside and base coupling to proteins. Paraffin-wax- or Spurr's-resin-embedded sections were cleared of wax or resin before incubation with anti-zeatin riboside or anti-isopentenyladenosine antibodies. The procedure was thoroughly investigated and many controls were done in order to eliminate artefacts. The immunostaining patterns observed along the plants showed a basipetally decreasing gradient of CKs along the stem and in the roots. Immunolabelling was higher in the actively growing regions of the stem bud and root apices. Terminal buds of Cls appeared to be less immunoreactive than C, whereas no differences were detected in root-tip immunolabelling. The staining patterns are consistent with the idea that root and bud apices have a different CK metabolism. The absence of axillary bud formation in Cls is correlated with low CK levels in the organogensis sites.

Abstract
Quantitative estimates of gibberellin A9 in Norway spruce extracts obtained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, radioimmunoassay (RIA_ and bioassay were compared after successive purifications of the extracts. The extracts were assayed in several dilutions with and without the addition of standard gibberellin A9, thus showing the effect of extract components on the response of the assays. Radioimmunoassay produced estimates comparable to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after one purification step by high-performance liquid chromatography. Extracts purified by polyvinylpyrrolidone-column chromatography and solvent partitioning but not high-performance liquid chromatography resulted in inaccurate RIA estimates. The performance of the RIA could be monitored by logit-log transformations of the standard curve and extract dilution curve and by calculating the slope of the standard addition curve. It was, however, not possible to correct for the interference caused by extract components by the standard addition procedure. Quantifications by Tan-ginbozu dwarf-rice bioassay were accurate, but a large and unpredictable variation makes it unsuitable for quantitative determinations.

Abstract
The production and characterization of high-affinity monoclonal antibodies suitable for the radio- and enzymeimmunoassay of the endogenous plant growth regulator, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), is reported. Hybridomas were produced by fusion of NS 1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from Balb/c mice immunized with IAA-bovine serum albumin conjugates. From an initial collection of 158 wells containing cells secreting monoclonal antibodies against IAA, seven were used to derive cell clones. Three of these are described here. They secrete immunoglobulin (IgG2a or IgG2b) of high affinity and specificity for IAA methyl ester and can be used to quantite picogram amounts of this compound in plant extracts by radio- and enzymeimmunoassay.

Abstract
Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been used to identify indole-3-ethanol (IEt) in a purified extract from needles of Pinus sylvestris L. Quantitative estimates obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, corrected for samples losses occurring during purification, indicate that Pinus needles contain 46±4 ng g(-1) IEt. This compares with 24.5±6.5 ng g(-1) indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 2.3±0.4 ng g(-1) indole-3-carboxylic acid (ICA) (Sandberg et al. 1984, Phytochemistry, 23, 99-102). Metabolism studies with needles incubated in a culture medium in darkness revealed that both [3-(14)C]-tryptophan and [2-(14)C]tryptamine mine are converted to [(14)C]IEt. It was also shown that [3-(14)C]IEt acted as a precursor of [(14)C]IAA. The observed metabolism appears to be enzymic in nature. The [2-(14)C]IAA was not catabolised to [(14)C]ICA in detectable quantities implying that, at best, only a minor portion of the endogenous ICA pool in the Pinus needles originates from IAA.

Abstract
We have studied ethylene biosynthesis in cloned crown-gall cell lines of Nicotiana tabacum L., N. glutinosa L., and Lycopersicon esculentum (L.) Mill. transformed by the A6 strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith and Townsend) Conn. or a tms (shooty) mutant strain, A66. Both the synthesis of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclo-propane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and the conversion of ACC to ethylene were affected by crown-gall transformation. All A6-transformed cell lines contained about 50 times more ACC than the A66-transformed cell lines, indicating that the tms genes stimulate ACC synthesis. On the other hand, A6-transformed N. tabacum and L. esculentum cell lines showed a very low capacity to convert ACC to ethylene when compared with A66-transformed cells of the same species. These differences in ACC-dependent ethylene formation were stable and could not be modified by supplying auxin to the culture medium. In contrast, both the A6- and A66-transformed N. glutinosa cell lines showed a low capacity for ACC-dependent ethylene production. Thus, the low-ethylene-forming phenotype did not seem to be under direct control of the tms genes and appeared to be part of the host response to crown-gall transformation. All cell lines exhibiting the low-ethylene-forming phenotype grew as unorganized tissues in culture, whereas cell lines showing a high capacity to convert ACC to ethylene formed shoots. Thus, ACC-dependent ethylene formation may be useful for studying host factors important in determining tumor phenotype.

Abstract
The hormone autonomy of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cells transformed byAgrobacterium tumefaciens containing mutations attmr (the "rooty" locus) of the pTiT37 plasmid has been examined. These cells require cytokinin, but not auxin for continuous growth in culture, indicating that the function of thetmr locus is to specify or induce cytokinin autonomy. Examination of tissues from plants regenerated from cells transformed by the mutant bacteria showed that the auxin independent phenotype is suppressed, but can be reinitiated in culture by exposure to an exogenous supply of auxin. In addition the developmental state of the cells from such regenerated plants can exert a profound influence on their cytokinin autonomy phenotype.

Abstract
We have measured the content of the auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), in cloned, crown-gall teratoma line of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. "Turkish" by a highly specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay. This tissue line, which does not require auxin for continuous growth in culture, exhibits two phases of growth. During the first phase, which lasts about two weeks after subculturing, growth is exponential on a fresh weight basis and the content of IAA is about 10-7-10-6 mol.kg-1, but variable. During the second phase, growth rate declines gradually and the IAA content of the tissue drops dramatically; however, this drop does not result from a net loss of auxin by the tissue. The rate of growth during the exponential phase was not correlated with the IAA content of the tissue, but was strongly correlated with the IAA content of the inoculum. We found that rapidly growing leaves of Turkish tobacco have roughly the same IAA content as cultured teratoma tissues. Moreover, both tissues exhibited a similar relationships between auxin content expressed per leaf or per tissue explant and growth. These findings do not support the hypothesis that the autonomous growth of plant tumors results from an abnormally high content of auxin in the tissue.

Abstract
A radioimmunoassay for the detection of as little as 0.5-1 pmol indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in unpurified or partially purified plant extracts is described. The assay makes use of either IAA[(125)I]tyrosine methyl ester or [(3)H]IAA methyl ester as radioactive antigens and IAA methyl ester as the assay standard (measuring range: 1-200 pmol). Levels of extractable IAA in a number of biological samples have been estimated.

Abstract
A specific solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for the detection of as little as 3-4 pg of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is described. The assay involves minimal procedural efforts and requires only standard laboratory equipment. Up to 50 samples in triplicate, processed simultaneously, can be assayed and evaluated in 2.5 h. As little as 1 mg oat coleoptile tissue is sufficient for a quantitative IAA analysis and little or no extract purification is necessary. Using this assay, levels of IAA have been determined in coleoptiles of maize and oat. The distribution of IAA within single coleoptiles was quantitated and the production of IAA during the regeneration of the physiological tip in Avena coleoptiles was investigated. The changes in levels of IAA and other major phytohormones were quantitated during the growth of oat coleoptiles.

Abstract
The use of spectrofluorimeter coupled to a reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography column permits selective detection of indole-3-acetic acid at the low picogram level. The value of the technique is demonstrated by the analysis of endogenous IAA in elongating shoots, xylem sap and callus of Douglas-fir. The data are also used to illustrate a procedure whereby the accuracy of chromatographic analyses can be verified within definable probability limits.

Abstract
Cytokinins were extracted from two cultures of tobacco crown gall tumor tissue: an unorganized tissue and a teratoma which produced leafy shoots. On Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, extracts of both types of tissue yielded two peaks of cytokinin activity with elution volumes similar to ribosylzeatin and zeatin. Ribosylzeatin and zeatin were detected and quantified by coupled gas chromatography - mass spectrometry selected ion monitoring (GC/MS SIM), comparable quantities being found in the two extracts. Full mass spectral evidence for the presence of ribosylzeatin in both tissues was obtained. No evidence was found for the presence of N(6)-(Δ(2)-isopentenyl)adenosine (i(6)Ade) or N(6)-(Δ(2)-isopentenyl)adenine (i(6)Ade) although these compounds have been reported to occur in cytokinin-habituated tobacco callus tissues.

Abstract
We have developed a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for abscisic acid (ABA) in the 0.1 ng to 2.5 ng range. Antibodies were obtained from rabbits immunized with ABA bound via its carboxyl group to bovine serum albumin. Cross-reactivity studies indicate that ABA esters are completely cross-reactive with ABA, while trans, trans abscisic acid (t-ABA) phaseic acid (PA) and dihydrophaseic acid (DPA) have much lower but significant cross-reactivities. Purification methods which reduce the levels of cross-reacting substances are described.
