Dynamic Metabolomic Changes in the Phenolic Compound Profile and Antioxidant Activity in Developmental Sorghum Grains

Résumé fourni par la source

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Phenolic compounds (PC) were analyzed by UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS E in two sorghum genotypes, harvested in two growing seasons (GS) at five distinct days after flowering (DAF) to evaluate how genotype/GS influences the PC synthesis and antioxidant capacity during grain growth. Total phenolic contents were strongly correlated with antioxidant capacity ( r > 0.9, p < 0.05). Globally, 97 PC were annotated, including 20 PC found irrespective of the grain developmental stage and genotype/GS. The phenolic profile clearly differs between stages: phenolic acids were the most abundant class in early stages (50%), and flavonoid accumulation becomes predominant in late ones (3/5 of total ion abundance). Dimeric and trimeric tannins were identified even in 10DAF grains. Chemometry revealed great PC variability between genotypes (27%) and important biomarkers of GS differentiation (e.g., ferulic acid). This work can input open databases of PC and paves the way to understand biosynthetic pathways of PC in sorghum and future sorghum selection
