Description
Measuring a plant hormone in tough pecan tissue is made practical in a 2026 methods study by Mohadeseh Jahanifard and colleagues. ELISA testing for gibberellic acid is cheap and reliable, but hard, metabolite-rich pecan buds and bark resist standard handling.
Trials varied sample amounts, tissue-to-methanol ratios, and drying methods. Using about 0.0125 g of heat-dried or freeze-dried tissue at a low solvent ratio gave consistently strong readings, and hormone levels stayed stable after long storage at −80 °C. Buds held more gibberellic acid than bark, and bark values predicted bud values well, which helps when bud material is scarce.
