title: Single cell-based analysis of torenia petal pigments by a combination of ArF excimer laser micro sampling and nano-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-mass spectrometry.
abstract: The molecular constituents of the petal pigments of the Torenia plant (Torenia hybrida) were analyzed on a single-cell basis by a combination of newly developed laser-microsampling and nano-flow liquid chromatography-electro spray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESIMS) techniques. Our method should provide a facile method for obtaining precise metabolic profiles of each cell in a single plant tissue.
