Description

Nicotianamine is a nicotinic acid amide that is synthesized from nicotianamine synthase. Nicotianamine is a nutrient that plays an important role in iron homeostasis. It is also involved in the regulation of plant metabolism and enzyme activities. Nicotianamine has been shown to be stable in complex with iron, which makes it a good candidate for use as an analytical reagent for measuring plant metabolites. The nicotianamine assay can be used to determine concentrations of nicotianamine and nicotinic acid amides in plants by plasma mass spectrometry. This method takes advantage of the ability of nicotianamine to form stable complexes with iron ions, which can be measured by quantifying the concentration of free iron ions. Nicotianamine can also be used as an indicator of nutrient solution quality because it reacts with various compounds present in the solution, such as phosphate, nitrate, and sulfate ions. The matrix effect can affect the
