In addition to the use in secondary metabolism, recent advance has made it30suitable for the determination of primary metabolites such as amino acids, phospholipids and even some phytohormones, although few method has been developed to measure large number of metabolites of all

12、Brief author introduction:LUO Jie, (1971-), Male, Professor, mainly focus on plant secondary metabolism and metabolomics. E-mail: - 8 -seeds were planted in a seed bed in mid-May, and transplanted to the field in mid-June. The planting density was 16.5 cm between plants in a row, and the rows were 2
13、6 cm apart. Field45management, including irrigation, fertilizer application and pest control, followed essentially the normal agricultural practice. In 2011, flag leaves were harvested using liquid nitrogen from 3 different plants per line grown in the field for metabolite extraction.1.2 ChemicalsMe

MIM scan used a minimal CE (5eV) in Q2 so that metabolite ions isolated in Q1 passed through Q2 with minimal fragmentation. Q3 was monitored at the s

A modified MIM-EPI strategy, called65stepwise scan MIM-EPI was adopted, in which Q1 (Q3) was set from 100.1 to 1000.0 Da by positive scan mode, and the mass step is 0.3 Da, such as 100.1/100.1, 100.4/100.4,100.7/100.7,1000.0/1000.0. Each MIM transi

We monitored each MIM-EPI experiment with 80 MIM transitions, product ions of each metabolite ion were scanned from 50 Da to 1000 Da in Q3, and the total cycle time for one70scan was approximately 1.8s. All together 38 LC/MS runs were s

To take the advantage of the high sensitivity of MIM-EPI for generating the MS2T data of endogenous metabolites, a
25、strategy called stepwise-scan MIM-EPI90was adopted (see Methods). The main process showed in Fig. 1 and the details of the procedure were described in Methods. By applying the stepwise scanned MIM-EPI strategy, we obtained more than 8000 signals with MS/MS spectral in total from about 3000 MIM-EPI t
26、ransitions (data not shown). Real peaks were checked manually, and after redundancy detection by looking for the metabolites with similar retention time (RT) and fragmentation pattern, a MS2T library of about95300 (almost) non-redundant, highly reproducible and high quality (s/n10) MIM-EPI transitio

31、of detected metabolites by our widely targeted metbaolomics approach, the retention time and the fragmentation pattern of the commercially available standards were obtained by the same profiling procedure. By comparing the m/z value (unit mass data), the retention time and the fragmentation pattern
32、with the standards, 38 metabolites were indentified, including amino acids, flavonoids, lysoPCs and fatty acid (such as -linolenic acid), and some phytohormones. To facilitate the annotation of the metabolites that couldnt be identified by available standards, peaks in the MS2T library, especially t
33、he peaks that have similar fragmentation patterns with the metabolites identified by authentic standards, was used to query the MS/MS spectral data taken from the literature or to search the databases (MassBank, KNApSAcK, HMDB, MoTo DB and METLIN). Best matches were then searched in the Dictionary o
34、f Natural products and KEGG for possible structures. More than eighty metabolites were putatively identified, most of them are (C- or O-) glycosylflavonoids, including derivatives of apigenin, luteolin, chrysoeriol, and tricin (Supplemental Table S1). Several flavonolignans,such as tricin 4-O- (eryt
35、hro - -guaiacylglyceryl) ether and tricin 4-O- (threo - -guaiacylglyceryl) ether were also identified putatively. Most of the metabolites elucidated (identified or putatively annotated) have been reported separately by different targeted metabolic profiling approaches, suggesting the reproducibility
36、 of the current method (data not shown).2.3High-throughput Quantification of MetabolitesWith the MS2T library created, high-throughput quantification of metabolites was carried out by MRM for widely targeted metabolomics analysis. To produce maximal signal for each130precursor-product ion transition
37、, the most abundant precursor ion and product ion fragmentations for each transition were selected to carry out the MRM scans. In addition to the MRM transitions from the MS2T library, MRM transitions for some phytohormones also included in our method by optimizing the MS conditions using authentic
38、standards. Approximately 300 metabolites were quantified simultaneously by MRM in one injection. The detection of more than 60 flavonoids in rice mature leaf was shown in Fig. 3A and 3B and the detection of several phytohormones with authentic standards was shown in Fig. 3C.To evaluate the ability o

This result indicates distinct metabotype difference between Indica and Japonica type in O. sativa.Color Key16 18 20 22150R025R030R147R001R033R046R006R040R060R042R010R099R148R105R007R053R024R020R104R012R002R141R057R152R028R150R034R1
