Seaweed Plant Hormones Determination Service

Ensuring Quality Through Professional Seaweed Phytohormones Analysis

Phytohormones (also called plant hormones) are the main chemicals found in seaweeds that are responsible for various processes and influence the different hormonal pathways occurring in these organisms. Creative Biolabs provides a high-quality phytohormone analysis service to our clients to aid in scientific research results and studies. We test for phytohormones in all types of seaweeds.

We are committed to supporting our clients in Biomass-related research on Seaweeds and other biomass. The identification and quantitative measurement of phytohormones in seaweeds provide valuable information for understanding the functions of phytohormones and the value of seaweeds as biofertilizers. We have developed a fast and sensitive ion chromatography method to achieve an efficient analysis of phytohormones in seaweed. The method has been proven to greatly reduce sample handling and total analysis time, is very reliable, and is suitable for routine analysis of trace amounts of multiple classes of phytohormones in seaweeds.

Our method applies to different sample types and mainly detects the following 9 phytohormones.

Salicylic acid
Gibberellic acid
Indole-2-acetic acid
Indole-3-acetic acid
Indole-3-butyric acid
Indole-3-propionic acid
Kinetin riboside
Abscisic acid
6-Benzylaminopurine

Published data

Seaweeds contain various compounds such as phenols, pigments, and phytohormones that are used as biofertilizers to improve crop productivity. To determine whether Ulva lactuca and Padina durvillaei can be used as biofertilizers, the present study examined the major phytohormones contained in both plants and tested their antioxidant properties. The researchers found several types of phytohormones in both plants. Among them, the cytokinins dihydrozeatin (DHZ), trans-zeatin (tZ), and gibberellin (GA4) were higher in P. durvillaei. In addition, P. durvillaei also had higher levels of flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and somewhat higher antioxidant activity. From these assays, it is also clear that U. lactuca and P. durvillaei are suitable candidates for use as biofertilizers. Through this study, we also learned how to efficiently detect and analyze phytohormones in seaweeds.

FAQs

Q1: What is the importance of seaweed phytohormone analysis for seaweed applications?

A1: Seaweeds contain phytohormones that play important roles in their growth and reproduction. Phytohormone analysis of seaweeds helps to understand the composition of hormones, physiological processes, and regulatory mechanisms of growth and development in seaweeds. In addition, analyzing the phytohormone composition of seaweeds helps to study the application value of seaweeds as bio-fertilizers.

Q2: What analytical techniques are used for phytohormone analysis of seaweeds?

A2: Commonly used techniques for phytohormone analysis in seaweeds include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, ion chromatography, etc. These analytical methods can effectively detect, identify, and quantify various phytohormones present in seaweed samples.
