Abstract
Plant elicitors with distinctive benefits including low toxicity, small application dosages and an innovative mode of action are considered as green agrochemicals by stimulating the host plant immunity. Several new plant elicitors have been developed for tobacco protection against virus attack. Among them, as a milestone in Chinese plant elicitor development, methiadinil (IUPAC: 4-methyl-N-(5-methylthiazol-2-yl)-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxamide) shows broad application prospects. Because of its low application dosage, its residue determination requires diverse highly sensitive method. Here we developed an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for methiadinil residue determination with the lowest detection limit of 10.69 ng/mL and a linear detection range between 21.84 ng/mL of IC20 and 1513.81 ng/mL of IC80 by a rational hapten designation. Meanwhile, this indirect ELISA method showed good specificity with low cross-reactivity for methiadinil analogue determination and a good correlation with the HPLC method for tobacco sample measurement. This sensitive, rapid and accurate methiadinil residue determination method in tobacco leaves is of great significance for the monitoring of methiadinil in tobacco and guidance for other environmental sample determination and the rational application of methiadinil.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
