Накратко на български

Растежните хормони се анализират чрез нов бърз метод за откриване, който помага за измерване на вещества, контролиращи например узряването на плодовете. Това помага за подобряване на устойчивостта на посевите към суша и повишаване на сигурността на хранителните ресурси.

Fast and Sensitive Detection of Plant Hormones by Ion Mobility Spectrometry

Problem/issue being addressed: The plant hormones (PHs), are signal molecules produced within plants that occur at extremely low concentration. PHs influence the plant growth, seed germination, fruit maturation and fruit ripening, they have significant roles in the production of food crops. They are responsible for controlling the physiological processes including the embryogenesis, regulation of the organ size, pathogen defence, and reproductive developments. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of PHs and their deliberate incorporation into the food crop production application can lead to remarkable results helping to tackle climate changes and food crops health. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) achieving the food security and improved nutrition for the growing world population while promoting sustainable agriculture is one of the sustainable development goals. The research in the field of PHs can contribute to achieve these goals in the agriculture, such as inhibition of invasive parasitic plants in sub-Saharan region, or to increase the drought tolerance of wheat. This project can contribute to the sustainable food crop production and relieving the concerns about food security. Starting with development of new fast and cost-effective quantitative PHs detection method. The primary goal of the project was exploration of IMS technique for fast and sensitive detection of PHs and to develop sampling methods and methodology for online measurement of PHs released from plants. The goals of the project have been achieved. The methods based in IMS, MCC and SPME sampling methods have been shown as fast and sensitive method of detection of plant hormones.

Цел на проекта

The Plant Hormones (PHs) influence the plant growth, seed germination, fruit maturation, and fruit ripening, hence they play significant roles in the production of food crops. The detection of PHs is thus of great importance for the plant physiology studies and for research and applications in agriculture. The conventional PHs detection techniques employ mainly high-performance liquid and gas chromatography (HPLC, GC) and their combination with mass spectrometry. These techniques are reliable and sensitive; however, time demanding and require complex sample preparation methods. The Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) has the potential to be developed as a fast and sensitive detection method for PHs. The objective of this project is to apply the IMS technique for PHs detection. Within the project, we plan to optimize operation parameters of IMS to improve the sensitivity and selectivity, and also to develop suitable sampling methods and methodology for detection of the PHs from plants and for online monitoring. The host institution (HI) offers an excellent multidisciplinary research environment and enables the fellow access to their unique experimental techniques in the field of IMS instrumentation including IMS-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (IMS-TOFMS). In addition, HI will provide expertise in the field of ion chemistry, plasma physics, access to available analytical methods, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of plant physiology. The fellow will contribute with her unique experience in the application of IMS in analytical sciences, to develop the sampling methods and methodology of IMS measurements of PHs. The project will boost the fellow’s research skills, enables her to gain experience in interdisciplinary research, and start an independent researcher career.
