Determination of isomeric structures of methylhistidine (MH) in seeds of Arabidopsis lines by GC-MS/MS. (A) Chromatographs of τMH and πMH. Trimethylsilyl (TMS) standard samples were analyzed by GC-MS/MS in full scan mode. The total ion chromatograph (TIC) is indicated in blue. (B) Chromatographs obtained by GC-MS/MS in MRM mode. τMH-2TMS (196.00 > 73.10) and πMH-2TMS (218.00 > 73.10) were analyzed in the Col-0 (green), the overexpressing line MT160-OE#32-1 (lime yellow), and extraction buffer (blue). N.D., not detected.
