Metabonomic and transcriptomic profiling reveals amino acid metabolism affects the quality of premium japonica rice varieties in Northeast China.

ABSTRACT: Rice consumption and demand for premium rice are increasing worldwide. However, the characterizations and how to identify the premium rice are still unclear. Small molecular metabolites have a great advantage in distinguishing subtle differences among similar agricultural products. So, we hypothesized that the metabolites would be the key to identifying the tiny differences in premium rice among similar varieties. In this study, we performed metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles to comprehensively elucidate key metabolites, genes, and formation mechanisms of premium rice. As a result, eight compounds belong to four categories, and 49 different expressional genes were identified in premium rice varieties after comparing with the second-best varieties. Moreover, the integrated analysis con
