Defense signaling compounds and phytohormones play an essential role in the regulation of plant responses to various environmental abiotic and biotic stresses. Among the most severe stresses are herbivory, pathogen infection, and drought stress. The major hormones involved in the regulation of these responses are 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA), the pro-hormone jasmonic acid (JA) and its biologically active isoleucine conjugate (JA-Ile), salicylic acid (SA), and abscisic acid (ABA). These signaling compounds are present and biologically active at very low concentrations from ng/g to μg/g dry weight. Accurate and sensitive quantification of these signals has made a significant contribution to the understanding of plant stress responses. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with a tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS/MS) has become an essential technique for the analysis and quantification of these compounds.

Legumes form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, well studied metabolically but less so in terms of respiration. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation demands high respiratory ATP and carbon skeletons, linking nitrogen assimilation and both NADH- and ATP-dependent process to mitochondrial respiration. The plant mitochondrial electron transport chain contains two terminal oxidases that differentially fractionate against O, providing estimations in vivo of the energy efficiency of respiration.

Chicken meat flavor is a significant factor in consumer preferences and purchasing behaviors, including taste, aroma, and texture, directly impacting perceived chicken meat quality. The formation of chicken meat flavor is predominantly regulated by various biochemical processes such as lipid oxidation, Maillard reaction, and thiamine degradation. The lipids significantly impact the flavor of chicken meat.

Background: High-throughput solid-phase extraction coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HT-SPE-MS/MS) is an automated sample delivery system to mass spectrometry that operates without chromatographic separation. The typical analysis time per sample using this platform is 10-30 s. While the HT-SPE-MS/MS system has demonstrated efficacy for in vitro assays, its application to the analysis of biological samples from in vivo bioavailability and bioequivalence studies presents challenges due to the complexity of the sample matrix.

Background: Approximately 1-2% of patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty encounter a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Currently, the treatment involves revision surgeries and long-term antibiotic therapy. However, too low antibiotic concentrations can lead to treatment failure, whereas excessively high concentrations can lead to adverse events.
