ABSTRACT
Monitoring agrochemical distribution within plant tissues delivers significant insights into the adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of agrochemicals. Detection and imaging of the safener cyprosulfamide (CSA) and the herbicide thiencarbazone-methyl (TCM) after micro-droplet application on the surface of maize leaves (Zea mays L.) have been achieved using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI). The agrochemicals were deposited onto the adaxial surface of maize leaves on growing plants, and their uptake, distribution, and metabolism were investigated at four timepoints (3 h, 24 h, 4 days, and 7 days) to assess the influence of CSA treatment on TCM metabolism. MALDI MSI visualized significant changes for the metabolism of TCM after 24 h. Although TCM metabolism was detected neither in the control without the safener nor in the approach with CSA on the second leaf, the co-application on the same leaf showed significant metabolism of the herbicide by detecting the metabolite N-demethylated TCM. These findings suggest that safener protection against herbicide injury is a rapid process in which CSA and TCM need to be present in the same tissues. This study showcases the use of MALDI MSI to visualize and analyze indirect interactions of two substances in planta.
