Title	Application of a metabolomic method combining one-dimensional and two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight/mass spectrometry to metabolic phenotyping of natural variants in rice.
Description	We have developed a comprehensive method combining analytical techniques of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (GC × GC) gas chromatography-time-of-flight (TOF)–mass spectrometry. This method was applied to the metabolic phenotyping of natural variants in rice for the 68 world rice core collection (WRC) and two other varieties. Ten metabolites were selected as metabolite representatives, and the selected ion current of each metabolite peak obtained from both techniques were statistically compared. Our method of combining 1D- and GC × GC-TOF/MS is useful for the metabolic phenotyping of natural variants in rice for further studies in breeding programs.

Preparation	Twenty-five rice seeds for each of the 68 WRC cultivars and var. Dahonggu and Pokkari were sown on April 19, 2005, at a rice field in NIAS, Tsukuba, Japan. Seeds were harvested independently for each cultivar after 40 days, starting from the day on which the first panicle of rice was observed. The seeds were threshed from the panicles manually and then collected by each cultivar, after they were dried at 30 °C for three days. All seeds in the husks were stored at 5 °C under dark conditions until analysis.

Description	One hundred milligrams of each material was extracted with extraction buffer [methanol/chloroform/water (3:1:1, v/v/v)] at a concentration of 100 mg/ml and containing 10 stable isotope reference compounds. Each isotope compound was adjusted to a final concentration of 15 ng/μl for each 1-μl injection. After centrifugation, a 200-μl aliquot of the supernatant was drawn and transferred into a glass insert vial. The extracts were evaporated to dryness in an SPD2010 SpeedVac® concentrator from ThermoSavant (Thermo electron corporation, Waltham, MA, USA). One microliter of each sample was injected in the splitless mode by an CTC CombiPAL autosampler (CTC analytics, Zwingen, Switzerland) into an Agilent 6890N gas chromatograph (Agilent Technologies, Wilmingston, USA) equipped with a 30 m × 0.25 mm inner diameter fused-silica capillary column with a chemically bound 0.25-μl film Rtx-5 Sil MS stationary phase (RESTEK, Bellefonte, USA) for metabolome analysis. Four replicates were subjected to 1D-GC-TOF/MS analysis. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a constant flow rate of 1 ml/min. The temperature program for metabolome analysis started with a 2-min isothermal step at 80 °C and this was followed by temperature ramping at 30 °C to a final temperature of 320 °C, which was maintained for 3.5 min. Data acquisition was performed on a Pegasus III TOF mass spectrometer (LECO, St. Joseph, MI, USA) with an acquisition rate of 30 spectra/s in the mass range of a mass-to-charge ratio of m/z = 60–800. Alkane standard mixtures (C8–C20 and C21–C40) were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (Tokyo, Japan) and were used for calculating the retention index (RI). The normalized response for the calculation of the signal intensity of each metabolite from the mass-detector response was obtained by each selected ion current that was unique in each metabolite MS spectrum to normalize the peak response, using the method of Kopka et al. The normalized responses are peak areas corrected using the sample weight and a constant amount of the representative internal standard compound ([13C4]-hexadecanoic acid).
