A New Method for Precisely Quantifying Systemin in Peptides
Today, researchers from the University of California, San Diego, have unveiled a new method for accurately quantifying the systemin peptide in plants. The method, which uses a combination of mass spectrometry and a bioinformatic algorithm, provides a precise and reliable way to measure the amount of systemin peptide present in plants. This is important as systemin peptide plays a key role in regulating plant growth and development. The research team hopes this new method will help advance research efforts into how systemin peptide can be used to improve crop yields and overall plant health.
