Another perplexing problem that has often been encountered is the determination of highly potent compounds which are usually present in minute amounts. They may be masked by other chemicals whose physical/chemical (chromatographic) properties are so similar that they may be very difficult to track down with limited quantities of plant samples. This type of situation is not uncommon in plant sciences and a typical example is our recent isolation of brassino-lide fran rape (Brassica napus L.) pollen (52).
