Abstract
Indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) was analyzed in apple, orange, and prune tissue by GC-MS by monitoring the protonated molecular ion of its methyl ester at mass to charge ratio (m/z) 190 together with the major fragment ion at m/z 130 and the corresponding ions from the methyl esters of either [2H4]IAA (m/z 194, 134) or [2H5]IAA (m/z 195, 135). Abscisic acid (ABA) was analyzed by monitoring the major fragment ions of its methyl ester at m/z 261 and m/z 247 and the corresponding ions from the methyl ester of [2H3]ABA (m/z 264, 250). Detection limits for IAA and ABA were 1 and 10 picograms, respectively using standards and 1 nanogram per gram dry weight for both phytohormones in plant tissue.
