Abstract
The quantification of plant hormones and related gene expression is essential to improve the understanding of the molecular regulation of plant growth and development. However, plant hormone quantification is still challenging due to extremely low endogenous levels and high chemical diversity. In this study, we present a convenient extraction protocol that enables the simultaneous extraction of both phytohormones and RNA from the same sample in a small quantity (approximately 10 mg). Using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS), this protocol provides a method to quantify 13 phytohormones and their derivatives from four classes (cytokinin, auxin, abscisic acid, and gibberellin) at the speed of 14 min per sample.

Background
Phytohormones are endogenous signaling molecules that are involved in an immensely diverse range of plant physiological and developmental processes, which makes them critical for plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Axillary bud outgrowth is a perfect example of a developmental process involving multiple phytohormones. Auxin, cytokinin, and strigolactone have been found to play major roles in triggering axillary bud dormancy (Barbier et al., 2019b). Abscisic acid and gibberellic acid are also involved in axillary bud outgrowth regulation (Yao and Finlayson, 2015; Charnikhova et al., 2017).
Despite their importance for plant growth regulation, not all phytohormones can yet be easily detected and quantified, which significantly limits the progression of phytohormone-related research (Cao et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2019). Due to various chemical classes and ultra-trace amounts of phytohormones in plant tissues, it is also difficult to measure a variety of phytohormone classes using a single separation method and analytical platform (Novák et al., 2017). Moreover, phytohormone levels vary between different plant tissues (Novák et al., 2017). Thus, it is important to select appropriate pre-treatment and quantification methods to boost the measurement sensitivity of targeted phytohormones (Yu et al., 2018). Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) has become the most efficient method for boosting measurement sensitivity, as it provides high selectivity and sensitivity for phytohormone profiling (Pan et al., 2010; Schäfer et al., 2016; Šimura et al., 2018). However, mass spectrometry sensitivity is strongly influenced by other compounds in plant materials, which suppress the ionization of target compounds (Trapp et al., 2014). Thus, a specific cleanup extraction method for phytohormones is needed. To quantify multiple phytohormone classes, many studies have used a time-consuming parallel extraction method for different classes of phytohormones (Cao et al., 2016; Xin et al., 2020). In addition to phytohormone profiling, monitoring gene expression is a key requirement for understanding the involvement of phytohormones in plant physiology and development (Šimura et al., 2018; Barbier et al., 2019b). However, a simultaneous extraction method for a wide range of phytohormones and RNA using one simple extraction method had not been previously reported.
