To measure the endogenous concentrations of JA and SA, root samples of about 100–200 mg were homogenised twice with 80% (V/V) cold methanol and shaken overnight in 4°C darkness. Dissolution, filtration, storage and quantification of combined extracts are described by Sun et al. (2014) (link). SA and JA content were measured by HPLC-MS/MS performed by AB SCIEX QTRAP 4500 system (AB SCIEX, Foster City, CA, United States) as described by Zhou et al. (2018) (link). The experiment was repeated 3 times with more than 3 seedlings in the sample.
