 | | Relatively non-volatile acidic phytohormones such as salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid are converted into volatile methyl esters and easily separated from the extraction mixture by collecting the analytes as volatiles. |
 | | This facile and rapid method for analyzing a wide range of phytohormones, elicitors, and chemical signals will enable elucidation of key crosstalk interactions and identify molecular targets for increasing the inducible expression of plant defenses. |
 | | A bottleneck in crosstalk research is the quantification of numerous interacting phytohormones and regulators. |
