ABSTRACTIntroductionBrassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of important phytohormones that play vital roles in plant growth, development and a series of physiological phenomena. In order to understand biosynthesis, degradation and metabolic pathways of BRs, a reliable analytical method of BRs with effective sample pre‐treatment process is favourable.ObjectiveThe development of a quick and effective method for the quantification of endogenous BRs in plant tissue with the aid of double layered solid‐phase extraction (SPE) cartridges (graphite carbon black and primary secondary amine silica sorbent: GCB/PSA).MethodThe method involved an initial extraction of BRs with acetonitrile, a dehydration process with anhydrous MgSO4 and NaCl, a SPE purification process with a double layered cartridge, and a further clean‐up step utilising liquid–liquid extraction (LLE). The purification process was mainly realised on the GCB/PSA cartridge. GCB could eliminate hydrophobic compounds, especially those containing a π system, and PSA was introduced to remove the polar interferences. Endogenous BRs were quantified by HPLC–ESI–MS/MS.ResultsGood linearities were obtained in the range of 0.4–500 ng/mL (0.0124–15 ng), with the correlation coefficients above 0.9957. The relative recoveries of BRs of this method were in the range of 71.1–113.1%, with intra‐ and interday relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 16.3%. With the proposed method, the requirement of plant tissue amount was minimised to 1 g fresh weight, which is the smallest amount reported so far, to our knowledge.
