Abstract: | Summary Physiological investigations of solute transport in plants affords knowledge of solute distribution between different tissues. Capillary electrophoresis using indirect UV and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection is demonstrated as a useful technique for the simultaneous determination of inorganic anions, amino acids and carboxylic acids in plant samples. Cell sap obtained from plant tissues as well as simple ethanolic or aqueous plant extracts can be analysed directly without any pretreatment. This matrix stability and the very small volumes required allow fast determinations of various compounds in small plant tissue sections. In the case of carboxylic acids, resolution can be optimized using calcium for selective complexation of some of the compounds. Selective and sensitive determination of amino acids is possible using precolumn derivatisation with orthophthaldialdehyde (OPA) and laser induced fluorescence detection.
