Glucosinolates are biologically active secondary metabolites in Brassicaceae plants that play a critical role in positive and negative interactions between plants and root-associated microbial communities. The aim of this study was to develop a reversed-phase liquid chromatography method to quantify and identify intact glucosinolates in the root of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) grown in non-sterile natural soil by using liquid chromatography-hybrid triple quadruple-linear ion trap (LC-QqQ(LIT)) mass spectrometry. The Synergi Fusion C18-based column was found to be effective for sufficient retention and separation of nine intact glucosinolates without the need for time-consuming desulfation or ion-pairing steps. Method validation results showed satisfactory inter-day and intra-day precision for all glucosinolates except for 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin. Good inter-day and intra-day accuracy and recovery results were observed for glucoiberin, gluconapin, glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin and neoglucobrassicin. However, for 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin, glucoraphanin and glucoerucin corrections to quantification results might be necessary since the recovery and accuracy results were not optimal. Matrix effects were shown to have a negligible effect on the ionization of all target analytes. The established liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was applied to quantify target intact glucosinolates in Arabidopsis root crude extract of four different wild-type accessions where differences in terms of concentration and composition of intact glucosinolates were observed. Employment of sensitive and selective precursor ion survey scan of m/z 97 in combination with the information-dependent acquisition (IDA) of the enhanced product ion (EPI) dependent scan (Prec97-IDA-EPI) using LC-QqQ(LIT) provided high confidence in structural characterization of diverse intact glucosinolate profiles in complex Arabidopsis root crude extract.

The paper discusses the possibilities and limitations of the method of mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma on the example of elemental analysis of natural and drinking waters, soils and grounds. It is shown that the combination of this method with the simpler atomic emission method makes it possible to expand the range of determined elements, simplify the mass-spectral analysis and increase its reliability. It is shown that the use of the ICP-MS method in the analysis of various objects makes it possible to determine the majority of elements with extremely low detection limits. The reason for the manifestation of matrix effects is the positive space charge formed between the interface and the extractor, the composition of which is determined by the composition of singly charged argon ions. The increase in the concentration of ions in this region is the appearance of a matrix element, which facilitates the scattering of ions from this region. It was found that the heavier the ions of the matrix element, the more the space charge density increases and the scattering occurs. A serious limitation of the method is associated with interferences due to the presence of a certain amount of two and three-charged ions in the plasma. These ions, which have approximately the same mass as the isotopes of the element being determined, are formed as a result of various plasma-chemical reactions and interfere with the determination.
