description ObjectiveBrassinolide is an important endogenous plant hormone. In this work, an electrochemical immunosensor for in situ detection of brassinolide was constructed using screen-printed electrode (SPE).MethodsAu nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly electrodeposited on the surface of SPE electrode by electrochemical workstation, and then CuCl2 nanowires (CuCl2 NWs) were added to the electrode, which can not only increase the conductivity of the electrode, but also Cu2+ can be used as a REDOX probe for the sensor. Finally, Mxene and polydopamine nanocomposite (Mxene@PDA) were selected as the modification materials for SPE electrodes because Mxene has the advantages of large surface area and good electrical conductivity, which can further amplify Cu2+ signals. However, Mxene is easily oxidized and unstable in air. Polydopamine (PDA) contains a large number of catechol and amino groups, which are coated on the surface of Mxene after self-polymerization by dopamine, cutting off the path of oxygen penetration, making Mxene difficult to be oxidized. Mxene@PDA can also be used as a coupling agent to fix more antibodies on the electrode surface, improving the overall biocompatibility, and improve the overall biocompatibility.Results and DiscussionsThe sensor has a wide linear detection range: 0.1 pg/mL to 1 mg/mL, and the detection limit was 0.015 pg/ml (S/N=3). In addition, the content of endogenous brassinolide in wheat was detected by SPE electrodes in vitro and the recovery rate was 98.13% to 104.74%.While verifying the accuracy of the sensor, it also demonstrated its superior stability and sensitivity. Besides, the sensor also showed excellent application potential in the in situ detection of brassinosteroids from wheat leaves. Compared with other brassinolide detection methods, the immunosensor developed in this study has better analytical performance.ConclusionsAn electrochemical immunosensor for in situ detection of brassinolide was developed for the first time, providing a good electrochemical platform for in situ determination of brassinolide in plant leaves, which has great application potential in precision agriculture.
