For determining the content of titratable acids, aliquots of methanol extracts were titrated against NaOH (0.05 mm) to a neutral endpoint and expressed as millimoles of H+ per gram fresh weight (fwt), as described by Cushman et al. (2008a (link)). Starch was extracted from the leaf mesophyll as described previously (Haider et al., 2012 (link)), and its content in mesophyll was measured as glucose equivalents using the colorimetric phenol/sulphuric acid test described by DuBois et al. (1956) . To determine starch content in guard cells, the peels were fixed (50 % v/v methanol, 10 % v/v acetic acid) and stained with Lugol’s iodine solution as described by Horrer et al. (2016) (link). Soluble sugars were measured in both tissues using the high-pressure ion chromatography (HPIC) technique (Thermo Scientific Dionex), and the amount of sugars (in micromoles per gram fresh weight) was calculated based upon standards of glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltose. Malate content in both mesophyll and guard cell-enriched epidermis was determined by the enzymatic method developed by Hohorst (1970) .

Drug EE% was determined
by the ultrafiltration centrifugation method.19 (link) Briefly, 1 mL of FH-HEX was centrifuged in an Amicon centrifugal
tube (100 000 molecular weight cutoff (MWCO), Millipore) at
15 000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was then
collected, and the amount of free FH was quantified using a previously
validated HPLC (Dionex, Thermo Scientific), equipped with an LPG-3400SD
quaternary pump, a WPS-3000TSL autosampler, a variable-wavelength
detector (VWD-3000), and a reverse-phase C18 column (Hypersil
ODS, 150 × 4.6 mm2, 5 μm). The wavelength of
the UV detector was set at 226 nm. The samples were separated using
acetonitrile and deionized water containing 10 mM aqueous triethylamine
at a ratio of 55:45 v/v at a flow rate of 1 mL/min at 25 °C.
The coefficient of determination (R2)
of the FH calibration curve in PBS (pH 7.4) in the concentration range
of 1–100 μg/mL was 0.9994, and the respective limits
of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.5 and 1 μg/mL.
The coefficients of variation (CV)% ranged from 2.1 to 4.9%, and the
accuracy for FH determination was 1.5–4.6% with a mean% drug
recovery of 97.5 ± 1.16%.
The adsorbed amount of FH on
the Amicon centrifugal tube membrane was determined by filtering an
FH solution of the same concentration, and then the amount of free
FH in the filtrate was quantified.56 (link)EE% of FH was calculated using the following equation:

Quantification of Ammonium Sulfate Aerosols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ion chromatography (IC) analysis was used to measure the particulate mass of (NH4)2SO4 deposited on the electrode. Concentration of the airborne (NH4)2SO4 aerosol was determined by collecting aerosol on the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter, followed by IC analysis. The extraction of (NH4)2SO4 particles (collected on the electrode or filter) was done using the procedures described by Chow and Watson (1999) . The collection substrate (electrode or the filter) was placed in an extraction vial and 200 μL of ethanol was added as wetting solution and 3 ml ultrapure DI water as added as a solvent. The vial was then sonicated for 15 minutes in an ultrasonic bath (Model ME 4.6, Mettler Electronics Corp., Anaheim, CA), followed by aging for 24 hours at 3 °C. This assured complete extraction of the deposited (NH4)2SO4 particles in the solvent. The extracted solution in the vial was analyzed using IC (Dionex, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) for quantitative determination of sulfate ions. The calibration curve for SO42− was constructed using five standard solutions with different concentrations in the range 0.01 – 2 mg L−1.
