Plant materials were homogenized in liquid nitrogen and placed in an extraction mixture consisting of methanol/water/formic acid. The supernatants were evaporated in a vacuum concentrator (Alpha RVC, Christ, Osterode, Germany), and were then applied to a mixed mode reversed phase-cation exchange SPE column (Oasis-MCX, Waters, Milford, MA, USA), as previously described [52 (link)]. The cytokinin fraction was sequentially eluted, evaporated, and finally dissolved in 5% MeOH. An ultra-performance liquid chromatography (1290, Agilent, Pal Alto, CA, USA) coupled to a hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trapmass spectrometer (4500 Q TRAP, AB SCIEX, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to analyze each aliquot.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
