Abstract
The glycinebetaine content of plants can be determined by simple isocratic high performance liquid chromatography. The method is applicable to extracts from a wide range of species and, in most cases, is suitably rapid and specific to be preferable to other methods of analysis. The chromatographic system employed permits accurate and sensitive ultraviolet detection, free of most interferences. Because the principle plant carbohydrates elute well before glycine betaine, preparative ion exchange procedures can be simplified. Twenty‐seven species, mostly inland halophytes, were screened by these methods and 13 were found to be glycinebetaine accumulators. On a dry weight basis, the glycinebetaine content of Salicornia europaea L. actually declined with exposure to progressively higher levels of NaCl. When expressed as a proportion of plant organic matter, however, patterns were more typical (up to 7.7% at higher salt concentrations).
