Abstract
This work reports a first-of-its-kind hybrid wearable physicochemical sensor suite that we call PlantFit for simultaneous measurement of two key phytohormones, salicylic acid, and ethylene, along with vapor pressure deficit and radial growth of stem in live plants. The sensors are developed using a low-cost and roll-to-roll screen printing technology. A single integrated flexible patch that contains temperature, humidity, salicylic acid, and ethylene sensors, is installed on the leaves of live plants. The strain sensor with in-built pressure correction capability is wrapped around the plant stem to provide pressure-compensated stem diameter measurements. The sensors provide real-time information on plant health under different amounts of water stress conditions. The sensor suite is installed on bell pepper plants for 40 days and measurements of salicylic acid, ethylene, temperature, humidity, and stem diameter are recorded daily. In addition, sensors are installed on different parts of the same plant to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of water transport and phytohormone responses. Subsequent correlation and principal component analyses demonstrate the strong association between hormone levels, vapor pressure deficit, and water transport in the plant. Our findings suggest that the mass deployment of PlantFit in agricultural settings will aid growers in detecting water stress/deficiency early and in implementing early intervention measures to reduce stress-induced yield decline.

[PMID: 36737147 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.340844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe was proposed for sensitive detection of jasmonic acid (JA) based on NCQDs@Co-MOFs@MIPs. The prepared NCQDs, with uniquely dual-emissive performance, are insensitive to JA due to electrostatic repulsion. Interestingly, the introduction of Co-MOFs not only avoided the self-aggregation of NCQDs, but changed the surface charge of NCQDs and triggered the response of NCQDs to JA. More importantly, the imprinted recognition sites from MIPs provided "key-lock" structures to specifically capture JA molecules, greatly improving the selectivity of the probe to JA. Under the synergistic actions of Co-MOFs and MIPs, JA can interact with NCQDs through photo-induced electron transfer (PET), resulting in the changes on emission intensity of the probe at Em = 367 nm and 442 nm. Based on the observations, the quantification of JA was realized in the range of 1-800 ng/mL with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.35 ng/mL. In addition, the probe was used for detecting JA in rice with satisfactory analysis results, indicating the probe holds great potential for monitoring JA levels in crops. Overall, this strategy provides new insights into the construction of practical probes for sensitive detection of plant hormones in crops.

Abstract
Rice blast disease is one of the most common rice diseases worldwide. It is essential to improve disease resistance through environment-friendly methods, while maintaining yield and quality parameters. In this study, jasmonic acid (JA), a plant hormone with anti-fungal activity, was obtained, at both low (100 μmol/L) and high (400 μmol/L) concentrations in rice leaves, before, during, and after infection, respectively. JA could inhibit germination and appressorium formation of rice blast spores in a dose-dependent manner. A total of 400-μmol/L JA treatment significantly enhanced cell viability and endogenous JA level in rice leaves. Furthermore, rice leaves inoculated with Magnaporthe oryzae and sprayed with JA 72 h post-inoculation showed the maximum symptom relief and the highest endogenous JA production among all treatment approaches. The expressions of defense-related genes, OsPR10a and OsAOS2, were highly up-regulated in response to JA, whereas OsEDS1 was down-regulated. Hence, we revealed that exogenous JA could activate JA signaling to effectively control the symptoms of rice blast.

Abstract
Brombuterol is a new emerging β-adrenergic agonist that has been used as an additive in animal feed to enhance the lean meat-to-fat ratio. Due to its potential harm to consumers, it is urgent to develop sensitive, simple and rapid analytical methods to monitor brombuterol residue. In this study, a competitive lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (FLIA) based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was developed for ultrasensitive quantitative determination of brombuterol in swine liver, pork and feed samples. Ag@Au core-shell bimetallic nanoparticles with the highest SERS enhancement were synthesized, characterized and used as the substrate for preparation of the immunoprobe AgMBA@Au-Ab, in which the Raman reporter mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) was embedded between the core-shell layers and monoclonal antibodies against brombuterol were immobilized on the surfaces of nanoparticles. The presence of brombuterol was identified through a color change on testing lines. In addition, quantitative detection of brombuterol was achieved by measuring the characteristic Raman peak intensity of MBA in the immunoprobes captured by the coating antigen. The IC50 and limit of detection (LOD) of the SERS-based FLIA for brombuterol were 45 pg mL-1 and 0.11 pg mL-1, respectively. The recoveries of brombuterol from spiked samples were in the range of 87.27-100.16% with relative standard deviations of 1.29%-6.99% (n = 3). The proposed SERS-based LFIA was proven to be a feasible method for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of brombuterol and might be a platform for sensitive and rapid detection of a broad range of analytes in clinical, environmental and food analyses.

Abstract
Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and its free-acid form, jasmonic acid (JA), collectively referred to as jasmonates (JAs), are natural plant growth regulators that are widely present in higher plants. Simultaneous detection of JA and MeJA in plant samples is of significance and is a great challenging issue. In this study, coupling with two extraction methods, a sensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for simultaneous detection of JA and MeJA in plant samples was developed. The JA-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate was used as an immunogen for the production of mAb. As the produced mAb exhibited higher recognition ability towards MeJA than towards JA, ELISA was established using MeJA as the standard. Under optimal experimental conditions, the IC50 and LOD values of ELISA for MeJA were 2.02 ng mL-1 and 0.20 ng mL-1, respectively. In the first extraction method, MeJA in plant samples was evaporated and only JA was extracted. In the second extraction method, both JA and MeJA were extracted. After methylation, JA in the extracts was converted into MeJA, and the whole MeJA in the extracts was measured by ELISA. Plant samples including the leaves of Salvia splendens, the flowers of Salvia splendens and the fruit of grapes were collected. JA and MeJA in these samples were detected by the proposed ELISA. It was found that the concentrations of JA in these three plant samples were about 3-5 times higher than those of MeJA in those samples. ELISA was also confirmed by HPLC. There was a good correlation between ELISA and HPLC.

Abstract
In this study, a magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle-based solid-phase extraction procedure combined with the online concentration and separation of salicylic acid (SA) through micellar electrokinetic chromatography-UV detection (MEKC-UV) was developed. Under optimal experimental conditions, a good linearity in the range of 0.01-100μmolL-1 was obtained with a coefficient of correlation of 0.9999. The detection sensitivity of the proposed method exhibited an approximately 1026-fold improvement compared with a single MEKC method without online concentration, and the detection limit (S/N=3) was 3.80nmolL-1. The repeatability of the method was evaluated using intraday and interday RSDs (11.5% and 17.0%, respectively). The method was used to determine SA concentrations in tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun) from the NN genotype, nn genotype, and Nt-NahG mutant strains, as well as in shampoo and ointment samples. Rapid extraction and separation (<50min), acceptable repeatability (RSD<17.0%), and high spiked recoveries (95.8%-102.4%) were observed for plants, detergents, and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
A stable zirconium (Ⅳ)-based metal organic frameworks (UIO-67) material possessing good chemical, thermal and water stability was synthesized and applied as a sorbent for the dispersive solid phase extraction (DSPE) of 8 plant growth regulators (PGRs) in fruit samples. Fluorescence labeling combined with high performance liquid chromatography fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD), was used to quantify the target analytes. Characterization of the UIO-67 material was performed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental parameters, such as amount of UIO-67, type and volume of eluting solvent, adsorption and desorption time, were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, good linearity was observed in the range of 10-1000 pmol/mL with R(2)>0.9989. The limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range of 0.21-0.57ng/mL and 0.81-1.91ng/mL, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precisions (based on the relative standard deviation, n=3) of the PGR derivatives were under 3.1% and 5.3% respectively and the accuracies of the method for the PGRs were in the range from 89.3% to 102.3%. The developed method was successfully applied to analyze PGRs residues in fruit samples. The proposed method is proved to be simple, environment-friendly and inexpensive and it is feasible to directly use UIO-67 as sorbent to extract targets by varying conditions.

Abstract
Determination of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in a signal transduction system (STS) is significant for transgenic food safety, but may be challenged by poor accuracy and analyte instability. In this work, a microwave-assisted extraction-derivatization (MAED) method is developed for six acidic PGRs in oil samples, allowing an efficient (<1.5 h) and facile (one step) pretreatment. Accuracies are greatly improved, particularly for gibberellin A3 (-2.72 to -0.65%) as compared with those reported (-22 to -2%). Excellent selectivity and quite low detection limits (0.37-1.36 ng mL(-1)) are enabled by fluorescence detection-mass spectrum monitoring. Results show the significant differences in acidic PGRs between transgenic and nontransgenic oils, particularly 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (1-NAA), implying the PGRs induced variations of components and genes. This study provides, for the first time, an accurate and efficient determination for labile PGRs involved in STS and a promising concept for objectively evaluating the safety of transgenic foods.

Abstract
Plant hormones act as chemical messengers in the regulation of myriads of physiological processes that occur in plants. To date, nine groups of plant hormones have been identified and more will probably be discovered. Furthermore, members of each group may participate in the regulation of physiological responses in planta both alone and in concert with members of either the same group or other groups. The ideal way to study biochemical processes involving these signalling molecules is 'hormone profiling', i.e. quantification of not only the hormones themselves, but also their biosynthetic precursors and metabolites in plant tissues. However, this is highly challenging since trace amounts of all of these substances are present in highly complex plant matrices. Here, we review advances, current trends and future perspectives in the analysis of all currently known plant hormones and the associated problems of extracting them from plant tissues and separating them from the numerous potentially interfering compounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phytohormones are the key metabolites participating in the regulation of multiple functions of plant organism. Among them, jasmonates, as well as abscisic and salicylic acids are responsible for triggering and modulating plant reactions targeted against pathogens and herbivores, as well as resistance to abiotic stress (drought, UV-irradiation and mechanical wounding). These factors induce dramatic changes in phytohormone biosynthesis and transport leading to rapid local and systemic stress responses. Understanding of underlying mechanisms is of principle interest for scientists working in various areas of plant biology. However, highly sensitive, precise and high-throughput methods for quantification of these phytohormones in small samples of plant tissues are still missing. RESULTS Here we present an LC-MS/MS method for fast and highly sensitive determination of jasmonates, abscisic and salicylic acids. A single-step sample preparation procedure based on mixed-mode solid phase extraction was efficiently combined with essential improvements in mobile phase composition yielding higher efficiency of chromatographic separation and MS-sensitivity. This strategy resulted in dramatic increase in overall sensitivity, allowing successful determination of phytohormones in small (less than 50 mg of fresh weight) tissue samples. The method was completely validated in terms of analyte recovery, sensitivity, linearity and precision. Additionally, it was cross-validated with a well-established GC-MS-based procedure and its applicability to a variety of plant species and organs was verified. CONCLUSION The method can be applied for the analyses of target phytohormones in small tissue samples obtained from any plant species and/or plant part relying on any commercially available (even less sensitive) tandem mass spectrometry instrumentation.
