Many environmental stresses can affect the accumulation of metabolites in plants, including drought. In the present study, we found a great deal of variability in the seed metabolic profiles of the tolerant (Matterhorn, SB-DT2 and SB-DT3) common bean genotypes in comparison to the sensitive genotypes (Sawtooth, Merlot and Stampede) using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). The genotypes were grown in the field and subjected to drought stress after flowering (terminal drought stress). We aimed to investigate the accumulation of genotype-specific metabolites and related pathways under terminal drought stress by comparing tolerant and sensitive genotypes within a race. A total of 26 potential metabolites were identified across genotype comparisons. Significant metabolic pathways, including monobactam biosynthesis, flavone and flavonol biosynthesis, pentose phosphate pathway, C5-branched dibasic acid metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, vitamin B6 metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis, were derived from the enriched metabolites. Many of these metabolic pathways were specific and varied with genotype comparisons. SB-DT2 vs. stampede revealed more significant metabolites and metabolic pathways compared to Matterhorn vs. Sawtooth and SB-DT3 vs. Merlot under terminal drought stress. Our study provides useful information regarding the metabolite profiles of seeds and their related pathways in comparisons of tolerant and sensitive common bean genotypes under terminal drought conditions. Further research, including transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, may contribute to a better understanding of molecular mechanisms and nutritional differences among seeds of common bean genotypes grown under terminal drought conditions.
许多环境胁迫都会影响植物中代谢物的积累,包括干旱。在本研究中,我们使用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法(UPLC-MS)发现,与敏感基因型(锯齿、梅洛和踩踏者)相比,耐旱普通豆基因型(马特洪峰、SB-DT2和SB-DT3)的种子代谢谱存在很大差异。这些基因型在田间种植,开花后遭受干旱胁迫(终末期干旱胁迫)。我们旨在通过比较同一品种内的耐旱和敏感基因型,研究终末期干旱胁迫下基因型特异性代谢物的积累及其相关途径。通过基因型比较共鉴定出26种潜在代谢物。从富集的代谢物中得出了重要的代谢途径,包括单环β-内酰胺生物合成、黄酮和黄酮醇生物合成、磷酸戊糖途径、C5分支二元酸代谢、半胱氨酸和甲硫氨酸代谢、维生素B6代谢以及类黄酮生物合成。这些代谢途径中的许多都是特异性的,并且随基因型比较而变化。在终末期干旱胁迫下,与马特洪峰vs.锯齿和SB-DT3 vs.梅洛相比,SB-DT2 vs.踩踏者显示出更显著的代谢物和代谢途径。我们的研究提供了有关终末期干旱条件下耐旱和敏感普通豆基因型比较中种子代谢谱及其相关途径的有用信息。进一步的研究,包括转录组学和蛋白质组学分析,可能有助于更好地理解终末期干旱条件下生长的普通豆基因型种子之间的分子机制和营养差异。
