Auxin plays an important role in cell differentiation, apical dominance, and tropism in plants. A new method based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) has been established to detect auxin. A mixture of CHCl(3) (extraction solvent) and acetone (disperser solvent) was injected quickly into a sample solution with desired salt concentration and pH value, and then a cloudy solution consisting of many dispersed fine droplets of CHCl(3) was formed. After centrifugation, the sedimented phase was withdrawn and directly analyzed by HPLC-FLD. Under optimal conditions, four auxins were baseline separated within 3.5 min, with the minimal limit of detection of 0.02 ng mL(-1) and coefficient correlations in the range of 0.9980-0.9995. This simple method was successfully applied to real sample analysis. Experimental results showed that DLLME was a high-performance and powerful preconcentration method to extract and enrich related plant auxin.

D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
