Figure 4. Desorption electrospray ionisation-tandem imaging mass spectrometry (DESI-IMS/MS) of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) in immature Phaseolus vulgaris L. seed.

Figure 4

Sections were prepared from a 163.7-mg seed. (a) Tandem mass spectrum (MS/MS) of the OPDA standard. The chemical formulae and structures are shown at the top of the respective peaks. (b) MS/MS spectrum of the immature seed section at m/z 290–293. Internal calibration of the MS/MS spectrum was performed post-acquisition using the exact m/z of OPDA [M-H] ion (m/z 291.1966). (c) Optical image of a seed section after DESI-IMS/MS. (d) Ion image at m/z 165.129. (e) Ion image at m/z 247.208. (f) Ion image at m/z 273.186. (g) Ion image at m/z 291.196. Scale bar = 2 mm.
