Plant hormone profiling

Companies and research organizations turn to NRC for hormone profiling analyses of plant materials, involving a specific hormone pathway or several hormone groups. Biologists can integrate hormone profiles with genomic, proteomic and metabolomic information to obtain a global view of plant biological processes.

On behalf of clients and research collaborators, we have quantified plant hormones in a variety of plant species (e.g., canola, grapes, conifers, corn, soybeans) and diverse plant materials (e.g., seeds, fruits, berries, leaves, roots, stems, meristems, buds, sap).

NRC developed analytical methods to minimize sample manipulation while providing quantification of more than twenty hormones in a single experiment.

These plant hormone profiling services include extraction, pre-purification, compound separation, and analysis of hormones and metabolites. NRC applies analytical chemistry instrumentation, including high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry.
