Title	Metabolome-genome-wide association study dissects genetic architecture for generating natural variation in rice secondary metabolism
Description	genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted to investigate the genetic architecture behind the natural variation of rice secondary metabolites. GWAS using the metabolome data of 175 rice accessions successfully identified 323 associations among 143 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 89 metabolites. The data analysis highlighted that levels of many metabolites are tightly associated with a small number of strong quantitative trait loci (QTLs). The tight association may be a mechanism generating strains with distinct metabolic composition through the crossing of two different strains. The results indicate that one plant species produces more diverse phytochemicals than previously expected, and plants still contain many useful compounds for human applications.

Title	Sample Preparation
Description	Seeds were sterilized in 10% sodium hypochloric acid solution by vacuum infiltration for 1 h, and then immersed in aqueous 2% PPMTM solution (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan, http://www.nacalai.co.jp/) at 28°C for 1 day in darkness. Seeds were sown in wet commercial fertilized soil (Bonsol II; Sumitomo Chemical, Tokyo, Japan, http://www.sumitomochem.co.jp/), and maintained under a 12-h light (28°C)/12-h dark (20°C) cycle for germination. Plants were kept under constant subirrigation conditions with tap water. After 2 weeks of growth, the entire aboveground (or aerial) part of one seedling was collected, weighed, and frozen in liquid nitrogen for analysis. Samples were stored at -80℃ until analysis.

Analytical Method Details Information

ID	MS01
Title	Metabolic profiling analysis using LC-ESI-Q-Tof/MS
Instrument	Waters Acquity UPLC system and Waters Q-Tof Premier
Instrument Type	UPLC-QTOF-MS
Ionization	ESI
Ion Mode	Positive
Description	Analysis was performed using samples with three or four biological replicates per cultivar. Frozen rice tissue was homogenized in five volumes of cold 80% aqueous methanol containing an internal standard (0.5 mgL-1 lidocaine, Tokyo Kasei, Tokyo, Japan, http://www.tcichemicals.com/), using a mixer mill (MM 300, Retsch, Haan, Germany, http://www.retsch.com/) and a zirconia bead for 6 min at 20 Hz. Samples were centrifuged at 15 000 g for 10 min. The supernatant (3 μl) were subsequently subjected to metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry with an Acquity BEH ODS column (LC-ESI-QToF/MS, HPLC: Waters Acquity UPLC system; MS: Waters QToF Premier, http://www.waters.com/). Metabolome analysis and data processing were conducted according to a previously described method (Matsuda et al., 2009, 2010). Briefly, metabolome data were obtained in positive ion mode (m/z 100–2000; dwell time: 0.5 sec), from which a data matrix was generated by MetAlign2 (Lommen and Kools, 2012). Signal intensities were normalized by dividing them by the intensities of the internal standard (lidocaine). A data matrix containing the 342 metabolite intensities from 668 runs was produced for the Japanese rice population (Tables S2 and S3).
