Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology detection technology, and in particular to a formulation and preparation method of an improved qualitative detection solution for plant physiological vitality. Background Technology
[0002] The qualitative detection solution for plant physiological vitality is a chemical reagent used to assess the life activity of plant tissues. Its core principle is to use colorless triphenyltetrazolium chloride as a substrate. Under weakly acidic conditions, it can be reduced by dehydrogenases in living cells to produce red triphenylmethylhydrazone, which is insoluble in water.
[0003] Traditional modified plant physiological activity qualitative detection solutions have extremely short shelf lives, only suitable for storage at 4°C in the dark for 3 days, requiring frequent fresh preparation and leading to cumbersome operations. The core components are prone to oxidation and decomposition, exhibiting poor stability and thus causing deviations in test results. pH fluctuations during storage and freeze-thaw cycles can easily degrade active ingredients. Non-specific reactions are also common, resulting in uneven color development and affecting observation and judgment. Furthermore, some related materials may pose toxicity or interference risks. Frequent preparation also increases experimental time and operational costs. Therefore, this invention provides an improved formulation and preparation method for a plant physiological activity qualitative detection solution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a formulation for an improved qualitative detection solution for plant physiological activity with a long shelf life and high detection accuracy, which is applied to an improved formulation and preparation method for a qualitative detection solution for plant physiological activity.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: This invention provides a formulation for an improved qualitative detection solution for plant physiological activity, the improved plant physiological activity qualitative detection solution comprising the following raw materials: 0.08-0.12 parts of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, 48-52 parts of phosphate buffer, 48-52 parts of succinate buffer, and 0.09-0.11 parts of modified sodium sulfite solution; The succinate buffer solution is a mixture of one of sodium succinate hexahydrate and anhydrous sodium succinate with deionized water; The mass ratio of sodium succinate hexahydrate to deionized water is 10.81:100; The mass ratio of anhydrous sodium succinate to deionized water is 6.48:100.
[0006] Furthermore, the phosphate buffer solution is prepared by mixing one of materials A and B with deionized water and adding a pH adjuster.
[0007] Furthermore, the mass ratio of material A to deionized water is 1.8623:98.1377.
[0008] Furthermore, material A is a mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate and disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate in a mass ratio of 0.4056:1.4567.
[0009] Furthermore, the mass ratio of material B to deionized water is 0.9362:99.0638.
[0010] Furthermore, material B is composed of sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate and anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate mixed in a mass ratio of 0.3588:0.5774.
[0011] Furthermore, the pH adjuster is one of a 0.1M phosphate solution and a 0.1M sodium hydroxide solution; The pH of the phosphate buffer solution is adjusted to 7 by adding a pH adjuster.
[0012] Furthermore, the phosphate solution is a mixture of one of sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, anhydrous sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate, and anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate with deionized water.
[0013] Furthermore, the preparation of the modified sodium sulfite solution includes the following steps: adding sodium sulfite, proline and trehalose to deionized water and stirring at a speed of 250 rpm for 3 minutes to obtain the modified sodium sulfite solution; The mass ratio of sodium sulfite, proline, trehalose, and deionized water is 0.005:0.01:0.02:10.
[0014] Proline has a purity of ≥98% and is food grade. It binds to sodium sulfite through weak coordination, encapsulating its reducing groups, slowing down its oxidation by oxygen, and prolonging its antioxidant effect.
[0015] Trehalose with a purity of ≥99% protects the structure of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride from being destroyed by freeze-thaw cycles, allowing the solution to maintain its activity after freezing and thawing at -20℃, thus improving storage flexibility. It also maintains the stability of plant tissue cell membranes, reducing the unnatural decline in sample activity caused by dehydration or environmental changes during the detection process, and improving detection repeatability. In synergy with sodium sulfite and proline, it further extends the shelf life of the detection solution without affecting the core detection reaction.
[0016] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing an improved qualitative detection solution for plant physiological activity, the preparation of which includes the following steps: mixing 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, phosphate buffer and succinate buffer evenly, adding modified sodium sulfite solution and mixing evenly to obtain the improved qualitative detection solution for plant physiological activity.
[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, a phosphate buffer is added, which can precisely stabilize the pH of the solution within the neutral range through the synergistic effect of conjugate acid-base pairs, perfectly matching the optimal reaction environment of dehydrogenases and avoiding the decrease or inactivation of enzyme activity caused by pH fluctuations. At the same time, the mild ionic strength it provides can maintain the integrity of plant tissue cells, prevent cells from rupturing and releasing impurity proteins due to osmotic pressure imbalance, reduce non-specific reactions, and protect the 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride structure from hydrolysis or oxidation, further improving the stability and repeatability of the detection system. Moreover, the raw materials are readily available and inexpensive, making it a preferred material for routine laboratory buffer systems.
[0018] 2. In this invention, succinate buffer is added. Succinate buffer provides a specific target site for dehydrogenase, significantly enhancing the efficiency of enzymatic reactions. This allows for faster and more uniform reduction and color development of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, avoiding faint color development or local blank areas due to insufficient enzyme activity. It is also highly stable, not reacting with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, phosphates, or other components in a neutral environment. Furthermore, its concentration is easily and precisely controlled, adapting to the detection needs of different plant tissues. This improves the effectiveness of the detection solution and ensures the consistency of the results.
[0019] 3. In this invention, a modified sodium sulfite solution is added. The sodium sulfite provides a strong reducing group to inhibit the oxidative decomposition of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride. Proline protects the activity of sodium sulfite and slows down its decomposition through weak coordination. Trehalose anchors each component to build a stable structure through a hydrogen bond network. The three work synergistically to significantly extend the shelf life of the solution while completely not interfering with the core detection reaction—it does not change the neutral pH environment of the solution, does not inhibit the activity of plant dehydrogenases, and does not react with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride or plant tissues. There is no background color interference. Moreover, the raw materials are all low-toxicity / food-grade reagents, which are highly safe, easy to dissolve and mix, and suitable for simple laboratory preparation procedures. It can also enhance the solution's freeze-thaw resistance and concentration uniformity, further improving the repeatability and reliability of the detection results. It fundamentally solves the pain points of traditional detection solutions that require frequent preparation and have poor storage stability. Attached Figure Description
