Legumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in macro- micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers polyunsaturated fatty acids. Whilst several health-promoting anti-nutritional properties have been associated with grain content, in-depth metabolomics characterization major legume species remains elusive. In this article, we used both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) liquid (LC-MS) to assess the metabolic diversity five commonly grown...
Abstract Plant metabolism is profoundly affected by various abiotic stresses. Consequently, plants must reconfigure their metabolic networks to sustain homeostasis while synthesizing compounds that mitigate stress. This aspect, with the current intensified climate impact results in more frequent stresses on a global scale. Advances metabolomics and systems biology last decades have enabled both comprehensive overview detailed analysis of key components involved plant response review...
Varying light conditions elicit metabolic responses as part of acclimation with changes in ascorbate levels being an important component. Here, we adopted a genome-wide association-based approach to characterize the response on high (HL) panel 315 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accessions. These studies revealed statistically significant SNPs for total and reduced under HL at locus chromosome 2. Ascorbate region upstream within PAS/LOV PROTEIN (PLP) were strongly associated....
Capsicum (pepper) is among the most economically important species worldwide, and its fruits accumulate specialized metabolites with essential roles in plant environmental interaction human health benefits as well conferring their unique taste. However, genetics underlying differences metabolite presence/absence and/or accumulation remain largely unknown. In this study, we carried out a genome-wide association study generating characterizing novel backcross inbred line mapping population to...
In recent years, multiple advances have been made in understanding the photosynthetic machinery model organisms. Knowledge transfer to horticultural important fruit crops is challenging and time-consuming due restrictions gene editing tools prolonged life cycles. Here, we characterize a encoding PetM domain-containing protein tomato. The CRISPR/Cas9 knockout lines of showed impairment chloroplastic electron transport rate (ETR), reduced CO2 assimilation, reduction carotenoids chlorophylls...
Abstract Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L .) fruit flavor is determined by a combination of multiple volatile compounds, including several derived from lipids and fatty acids. Although has been intensively studied, the linkage between lipid metabolism remains largely undefined. Here, we performed genome-wide association study (GWAS) QTL mapping for content 550 tomato accessions 107 backcross inbred lines (BILs) in two consecutive seasons. Over 130 compounds were identified mapped, allowing...
Protein complexes are important for almost all biological processes. Hence, to fully understand how cells work, it is also necessary characterize protein and their dynamics in response various cellular cues. Moreover, the of interaction play crucial roles regulating (dis)association and, turn, processes such as metabolism. Here, mitochondrial were investigated by blue native PAGE size-exclusion chromatography under conditions oxidative stress order monitor dynamic (dis)associations....
Both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid (LC-MS) are widely used metabolomics approaches to detect quantify hundreds of thousands metabolite features. However, the application these techniques a large number samples is subject more complex interactions, particularly for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This protocol describes an optimized metabolic workflow, which combines efficient fast sample preparation with analysis legume crop species. slightly modified...

Abstract Capsicum (pepper) is among the most economically important species worldwide, fruit accumulates specialized metabolites with essential roles in plant environmental interaction and potential health benefits. However, underlying genetic basis of their biosynthesis remains largely unknown. In this study, we developed assessed both wild variance a bespoke mapping population to determine architecture pepper metabolome. The analysis provided over 30 metabolic quantitative trait loci...
