Metabolomics Revealed the Differential Metabolites of Different Broomcorn Millet Varieties in Shanxi.

ABSTRACT: Broomcorn millet is a kind of coarse grain crop that is beneficial to health. However, there is still a lack of systematic information support for metabolic research on its nutritional value. This study used widely targeted metabolomics to compare different broomcorn millet varieties (Yanshu No. 13, Yanshu No. 16, Jinshu No. 9, Jinshu No. 15, and Pingshu No. 9). A total of 1119 metabolites were identified among different varieties of millet, including 16 major categories such as phenols, alkaloids, and phenylpropanoids. The results showed that the main differential pathways among different broomcorn millet varieties included tryptophan metabolism, purine metabolism, and phenylalanine metabolism. The grain color among different varieties of broomcorn millet is related to β-carotene, glutath
