Profiling of Jasmonic Acid-Related Metabolites and Hormones in Wounded Leaves
The endogenous concentration of N-jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is regulated by the balance between biosynthesis and deactivation and controls plant developmental processes and stress responses. Therefore, profiling of its precursors and metabolites is required to understand the mechanism by which the JA-Ile concentration is regulated. Also, other hormones, such as indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid, salicylic acid, and ethylene, have been suggested to interact with JA-Ile signaling. Profiling of these hormones and their metabolites should give us insights into their interaction mode. Liquid chromatography-electrospray ...

Auxin Immunolocalization in Plant Tissues
The major naturally occurring auxin, indol-3 acetic acid (IAA), coordinates many growth and differentiation processes by modulating gene expression during plant development. The sites of IAA biosynthesis and its polar transport (PAT) routes determine auxin accumulation and distribution during growth. From many studies on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana over the last years, it has become evident that the expression and sub-cellular localization of multiple transport proteins are required to initiate and maintain directional auxin flows within plant organs and tissues, creating the auxin concentration gradients that reg...
