Comparative metabolomic profiling and nutritional chemistry of Chenopodium quinoa of diverse panicle architecture and agroecological zones.

ABSTRACT: Chenopodium quinoa possesses remarkable nutritional value and adaptability to various agroecological conditions. Panicle architecture influences the number of spikelets and grains in a panicle, ultimately leading to productivity and yield. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the metabolites, nutrients, and minerals in Chenopodium quinoa accessions of varying panicle architecture. Metabolic profiling using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis identified seventeen metabolites, including flavonoids, phenolics, fatty acids, terpenoids, phenylbutenoid dimers, amino acids, and saccharides. Eight metabolic compounds were reported in this study for the first time in quinoa. Some metabolites were detected as differentially expressed. The compound (Z)-1-(2,4,
