Metabolome-Based Genome-Wide Association Study Provides Genetic Insights Into the Natural Variation of Foxtail Millet.

ABSTRACT: The plant metabolome is considered as a bridge between the genome and the phenome and is essential for the interaction between plant growth and the plant environment. Here, we used the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to perform a widely targeted metabolomics analysis of 150 millet germplasm and simultaneous identification and quantification of 330 annotated metabolites. Comparing the metabolic content of different millets revealed significant natural variation of both primary and secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, phenolamides, hydroxycinnamoyl derivatives, nucleotides, and lipids, in the millets from India and the north and south of China; among them, some of the flavonoids are the most prominent. A total of 2.2 TB sequence data were obtained by sequencing
