Abstract

Varying concentrations of cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid (CDA), an inhibitor of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase, added to the solid culture medium of tomato nodal shoot segments resulted in a reduction in the level of endogenous ethylene according to the concentration of inhibitor applied. Following treatment with inhibitor, plants were homogenised and the concentrations of CDA and of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) were measured simultaneously in the resulting juice using an HPLC-ESI/MS-MS method. The levels of CDA and ACC measured in the plant tissues were associated with the concentration of inhibitor added to the solid medium. The HPLC-ESI/MS-MS method described produced limits of detection of 0.8 pmol for ACC and of 4 pmol for CDA.
