Arabidopsis thaliana was thought to contain two spermine synthase genes, ACAULIS 5 (ACL5) and SPMS. Recent investigations, however, revealed that the ACL5 gene encodes thermospermine synthase. In this study, we have established a simple method to separate two isomers of tetraamine, spermine and thermospermine, in extracts from plant tissues of less than 500 mg. Polyamines (PAs) extracted from plant tissues were benzoylated, and the derivatives were completely resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography on a C18 reverse-phase column, by eluting with 42% (v/v) acetonitrile in water in an isocratic manner at 30 degrees C and monitoring at 254 nm. The relevance of the method was confirmed by co-chromatography with respective PAs and by the PA analysis of the single- and double-mutants of acl5 and spms, which could not synthesize thermospermine and/or spermine, respectively. Furthermore, with this method, we monitored the thermospermine contents in various tissues of A. thaliana and found that stems and flowers contain two- to three-fold more thermospermine compared to whole seedlings and mature leaves. The presence of thermospermine was confirmed in Oryza sativa and Lycopersicon pesculentum. Finally we addressed whether salinity stress changes the contents of PAs including thermospermine in Arabidopsis
