Sampleprep ID:SP002524
Sampleprep Summary:Leaves harvested from control and stressed plants were immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until metabolite extraction: four plants for treatments. Before solvent extraction, all samples underwent grounding in liquid nitrogen. The solvents used were methanol grade UHPLC, acetonitrile grade LC-MS, formic acid grade LC-MS, sodium hydroxide ACS grade LC-MS, all from Sigma-Aldrich, and water treated in a Milli-Q system from Millipore. We employed a protocol to extract the metabolites in three phases (polar, non-polar, and protein pellet). Aliquots of 50 mg of ground sample were transferred to 2 mL microtubes, and then 1 mL of a mixture of 1:3 (v:v) methanol/methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) at −20 °C was added. Homogenization on an orbital shaker at 4.0 °C and ultrasound treatment in an ice bath were each performed for 10 min. As the next step, we added 500 μL of a mixture of 1:3 (v:v) methanol/water to each microtube. After centrifugation (15,300× g at 4.0 °C for 5 min), an upper non-polar (green) and a lower polar (brown) phase and a protein pellet remained in each microtube. After transferring both fractions separately to 1.5 mL microtubes, they were submitted to a Speed vac system (Centrivap, Labconco) to be vacuum dried. Finally, the dry-fraction, resuspended in 500 μL of 1:3 (v:v) methanol and water mixture and transferred to vials, were now ready for analysis.
