Scientists developed a fast, sensitive test that can measure 27 different plant hormones simultaneously from just a tiny pinch of plant material in 10 minutes — far more efficient than previous methods.
1
27 phytohormones across multiple classes (including 18 gibberellins, abscisic acid, salicylic acid, auxin, and jasmonates) can be quantified in a single 10-minute run.
2
The method requires only 20 mg of plant material — roughly the weight of a few seeds — making it practical for small or precious samples.
3
Detection limits ranged from 0.04 to 29.9 nM, and the method was validated on three crop/food plants: tomato, maize, and cress.
