Total lipid … Sample preparation<br />
Total lipids were extracted according to the method of Bligh and Dyer (Bligh and Dyer 1959) with slight modifications. The frozen plant material was milled on a Mixer Mill MM300 (Retsch, Haan, Germany) for 2 min at 15 Hz with a zirconium bead. The milling process was carried out under cryogenic conditions (the grinding jars were cooled with liquid nitrogen before each milling process to ensure a low milling temperature to keep the plants frozen). The frozen powdered plant material was kept in liquid nitrogen and a 20-fold volume of extraction solvent (CHCl3–MeOH–H2O = 50:100:31.45, v/v/v) was added with 1 μM 10:0/10:0 PC as the internal standard, followed by vigorous stirring on a vortex mixer. After dark incubation for 5 min at room temperature, the homogenate was centrifuged at 3,000×g for 3 min at room temperature. Two hundred microliters of supernatant was mixed with CHCl3 and H2O (52.6 μl each), stirred on a vortex mixer, and incubated on ice for 15 min in darkness. The mixture was centrifuged at 1,000×g for 3 min, and 85 μl of the lower layer was collected. The organic phase was dried by a centrifugal concentrator at room temperature and the residue was dissolved in 81 μl of CHCl3 for LC-MS analysis.<br /><br />

Chromatography instrument description: Shimadzu, LC-20AD HPLC system, operated by LCMSsolution v.3.6.<br />
Auto-injector: Shimadzu, SIL-20AC, LCMSsolution v.3.6., 1microL injection, 1 wash per injection (0.2 mL MeCN)<br />
Separation column and pre/guard column: Shimadzu, Atlantis HILIC Silica (pore size: 3 microm) 2.1 by 100 mm<br />
Separation parameter: A two-solvent system was used to generate the mobile phase: solvent A, methanol-water (95:5, v/v) containing 0.2% ammonium formate (pH 5.9); solvent B, acetonitrile-methanol-water (95:2:3, v/v/v) containing 0.2% ammonium formate (pH 5.9). The pH of both solvents A and B was adjusted by adding 30% NH4OH to the mixtures of solvents containing 0.2% (v/v) formic acid.; elution program: 100% solvent B (0-3.33 min), 100~65% solvent B (3.33-10 min), 65~30% (10-11.33 min), 30% solvent B (11.33-14.66 min), 100% solvent B (14.66-40 min). The flow rate was held at 0.2 mL/min, and it was then increased to 0.4 mL/min at 14.66 min after the beginning of the gradient, maintained for 13.33 min, and then decreased to 0.2 mL/min. Total elution time was 40 min.<br />
