International audience. An AccQ center dot Tag ultra performance liquid chromatographyphotodiode array-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (AccQ center dot Tag-UPLC-PDA-ESI-MS) method is presented here for the fast, robust, and sensitive quantification of N-15 isotopologue enrichment of amino acids in biological samples, as for example in the special biotic interaction between the cultivated specie Brassica napus (rapeseed) and the parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa (broomrape). This method was developed and validated using amino acid standard solutions containing N-15 amino acid isotopologues and/or biological unlabeled extracts. Apparatus optimization, limits of detection and quantification, quantification reproducibility, and calculation method of N-15 isotopologue enrichment are presented. Using this method, we could demonstrate that young parasite tubercles assimilate inorganic nitrogen as N-15-ammonium when supplied directly through batch incubation but not when supplied by translocation from host root phloem, contrary to N-15(2)-glutamine. N-15(2)-glutamine mobility from host roots to parasite tubercles followed by its low metabolism in tubercles suggests that the host-derived glutamine acts as an important nitrogen containing storage compound in the young tubercle of Phelipanche ramosa.
