Table 1. Quantitative analysis of endogenous BR intermediates in creeping bentgrass.
BRs | NT | AtBAT1 #3 | AtBAT1 #4 |
---|---|---|---|
Typhasterol (TY) | 7.36/6.86 | 3.22/3.31 | 3.46/3.91 |
6-deoxocastasterone (6-deoxoCS) | 9.40/9.16 | 5.40/5.44 | 4.83/5.62 |
Castasterone (CS) | 7.10/5.10 | 3.48/2.51 | 3.62/3.12 |
Brassinolide (BL) | n.d. | n.d. | n.d. |
Endogenous BR levels were measured by GC-SIM using [26, 28-2H6]-labeled BRs as internal standards. The leaves of 5-week-old plants in soil were used in these analyses, and the contents (ng/g fresh weight) of BR intermediates are shown, which were obtained from two independent experimental measurements (shown as the first result/the second result). NT, Non-transformed creeping bentgrass; AtBAT1 #3 and #4, two transgenic creeping bentgrass plants overexpressing AtBAT1; n.d., not detected (i.e., below the detection limit).
