Abstract

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is an important second messenger in cells, mediating various stimulation signals such as the growth and development of organisms and stress and participating in regulating various biological processes of cells. This article explores the quantitative determination of cAMP in plants using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and applies this method to analyzing the changes in cAMP content during the process of plant response to the bacterial quorum sensing signal N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL). Research has shown that the optimal detection conditions for HPLC are as follows: the chromatographic column is Venusil MP C18 (2), the mobile phase is methanol-water (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) (v:v, 10:90), the detection wavelength is 259 nm, the column temperature is 35 °C, and the flow rate is 0.8 mL/min. The precision of the standard sample of this method is 98.21%, the precision of the sample is 98.87%, and the recovery rate is 101.067%. The optimal extraction conditions for cAMP in Arabidopsis are to use 15% methanol ultrasonic extraction for 10 min, followed by a 40 °C water bath for 4 h. Bacterial AHL signal processing can significantly stimulate an increase in cAMP levels in Arabidopsis leaves and roots. The establishment of HPLC detection methods for the cAMP content in plants is of great significance for in-depth research on the signal transduction mechanisms of plant-bacterial interactions.
