A 0.1 g of leaves was homogenized with 1 mL of HClO4 (5%, w/v), kept in an ice bath for 1 h, and then centrifuged at 12,000 rpm (Centrifuge 5425/5425 R; Eppendorf, Germany) for 30 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was stored at –70 °C for PAs concentration measurements by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; Shimadzu LCMS8040 system, China) [11 (link)]. Standard Put (CAS No.: 333–93–7), Spm (CAS No.: 71–44–3), and Spd (CAS No.: 334–50–9) were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (USA) and were used to optimize the mass spectrometric parameters and fragment spectra [12 (link),13 (link),14 (link)].
