Abstract
Homeostasis between the cytoplasmic plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) and its’ inactive, vacuolar storage forms, SA-2-O-β-D-glucoside (SAG) and SA-β-D-Glucose Ester (SGE), regulates the fine-tuning of defense responses to biotrophic pathogens in Arabidopsis thaliana. This protocol describes a simplified, optimized procedure to extract and quantify free SA and total hydrolyzable SA in plant tissues using a classical HPLC-based method.

Background
SA (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) is a plant hormone, which is synthesized in the chloroplast in response to pathogen attack. It is then exported to the cytoplasm, where it establishes both local and systemic-acquired resistance (SAR). In a generalized scheme, plant resistance to biotrophic pathogens is thought to be mediated through SA signaling, whereas resistance to necrotrophic pathogens is controlled by jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET). SA and JA/ET signaling pathways interact antagonistically. SA accumulation to high concentrations is toxic and leads to cell- and tissue damage. Most pathogen-induced SA is thus glycosylated by UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs) to form hydrophilic, non-toxic SAG and SGE (Noutoshi et al., 2012; George Thompson et al., 2017). SAG and SGE are then sequestered in vacuoles, where they form reusable sources for hydrolysis to active SA. Increasing amounts of total SA (SA + SAG/SGE) in plant tissues thus reflect SA synthesis as a response to biotrophic pathogen attack. However, the amplitude of defense responses in infected plant tissues is determined by the amount of available cytoplasmic, unconjugated SA. To evaluate both the onset of SA-dependent defense responses and their amplitude, it is essential to quantify free and conjugated SA, respectively. This article describes a method for measuring conjugated and unconjugated SA levels in phase-partitioned extracts from A. thaliana seedlings. It is based on a protocol established for SA analysis in cucumber leaves (Meuwly and Métraux, 1993), which we optimized and downscaled for convenient, routine use.
