<i>ent</i>-Kaurenoic acid (KA) is a key intermediate connected to a phytohormone gibberellin. To date, the general procedure for quantifying KA is by using traditional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In contrast, gibberellins, which are more hydrophilic than KA, can be easily quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In this study, we have established a new method to quantify KA by LC-MS/MS by taking advantage of a key feature of KA, namely the lack o ...[more]
