Analysis of metabolites and metabolic pathways in three maize (Zea mays L.) varieties from the same origin using GC-MS.

ABSTRACT: Metabolites of the Jinyu 88, Huanong 18, and Demeiya 9 maize varieties from the same origin were isolated and identified by GC-MS, and the specific metabolites and metabolic mechanisms of these three varieties of maize were preliminarily analysed and discussed. The metabolites were extracted with 80% methanol and derived with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide. A total of 59 metabolites were identified. The specific metabolites of these three varieties of maize were identified. Four possible unknown-structure metabolites were hypothesized. The results showed that the specific metabolites of JY88 were only involved in fatty acid metabolism. The specific metabolites of HN18 were determined to be involved in fatty acid metabolism, glucose metabolism, and phytosterol metabolism. The spe
