Title	Exploring molecular backgrounds of quality traits in rice by predictive models based on high-coverage metabolomics
Description	BACKGROUND: Increasing awareness of limitations to natural resources has set high expectations for plant science to deliver efficient crops with increased yields, improved stress tolerance, and tailored composition. Collections of representative varieties are a valuable resource for compiling broad breeding germplasms that can satisfy these diverse needs. RESULTS: Here we show that the untargeted high-coverage metabolomic characterization of such core collections is a powerful approach for studying the molecular backgrounds of quality traits and for constructing predictive metabolome-trait models. We profiled the metabolic composition of kernels from field-grown plants of the rice diversity research set using 4 complementary analytical platforms. We found that the metabolite profiles were correlated with both the overall population structure and fine-grained genetic diversity. Multivariate regression analysis showed that 10 of the 17 studied quality traits could be predicted from the metabolic composition independently of the population structure. Furthermore, the model of amylose ratio could be validated using external varieties grown in an independent experiment. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate the utility of metabolomics for linking traits with quantitative molecular data. This opens up new opportunities for trait prediction and construction of tailored germplasms to support modern plant breeding.

Description	BioSource amount For RDRS and Hoshiyutaka, 100 seeds of each variety were selected according to the average weight and length of seeds. After separating the husks from the seeds, the brown rice seeds obtained were bulked and crushed by using a Retsch mixer mill MM301 at a frequency of 20 Hz for 2 min at 4 °C. Successively, the obtained powder was divided into three to four pools. For external set of samples harvested in Akita, 100 seeds of each biological replicate were selected and crushed in the same way as RDRS. Extraction for IT-MS Each Sample (50 mg) was extracted with 750 µl of chloroform/MeOH (1:1, v/v) containing 1.25 µM 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (SIGMA) followed by centrifugation at 10,000g at 4°C for 5 min. The supernatant was transferred to a 2 ml tube, and the extraction procedure was repeated again. The combined supernatant was evaporated to dryness by SPD2010 SpeedVac® concentrator. The residue was dissolved in 750 µl of ethanol, and centrifuged at 10,000g at 4°C for 5 min. Six hundred microlitter of the supernatant was transferred to a glass tube for polar-lipid analysis. LC-IT-TOF-MS conditions Extracts (0.5 µl, ca. 33.3 µg of each sample) was analyzed by LCMS with ESI interface (LC, Shimadzu LC-20AD system; MS, Shimadzu LCMS-IT-TOF) operated by Shimadzu LCMSsolution software (version 3.60). Two-solvent system was used for separation of each metabolite. The analytical conditions were as follows. Column, Shim-pack XR-ODS (2.0 mm I.D., 50 mm long); solvent A, water (1% 1M ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid); solvent B, acetonitrile/isopropyl alcohol (40:60, v/v. 1% 1M ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid); gradient program, 40% B at 0 min, 75% B at 3 min, 95% B at 10 min, 100% B at 19 min, 100% B at 27 min, 40% B at 27.01 min (total run time, 30 min); flow rate, 0.3 ml/min; column temperature, 55°C; MS interface voltage, 4.50 kV, nebulizer gas, 1.50 L/min; CDL temperature 200.0°C, heat block temperature, 200°C; detection mode, scan (m/z 150˜1600, positive); scan time, 0.25 sec; ion accumulation time, 20 msec.
