Abstract
To fully understand the function of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in regulating plant growth and development, we need to monitor their levels and distribution with high spatial and temporal resolution. In this work, an anthracene-based fluorescent biosensor for IAA was prepared using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a bio-template. The single linear oxygen (1O2) specifically produced by IAA catalyzed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) turns on the fluorescence of the probe, enabling specific trace sensing of IAA in the presence of multiple structural analogues. The presence of the bio-template BSA extends the biocompatibility of the probe, enabling visual monitoring of the level and distribution signal of endogenous IAA of plants in the field of bioimaging. In addition, the strategy has shown potential for application in portable paper-based sensors and in vivo fluorescent flower culture. This work provides a technical and theoretical basis for exploring the growth regulatory mechanisms of IAA in plants at the molecular level.
