Metabolite Profiling of Soybean Organs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Metabolites were extracted from five different organs (1st [L1], 2nd [L2], and 3rd [L3] trifoliate leaves; stems [S]; and roots [R]) of soybean plants at the V3 growth stage (25 mg/sample) using extraction medium (3:1:1 [v/v/v] methanol/chloroform/water). Extraction and derivatization were performed as described (Kusano et al., 2007, 2011). Metabolites were detected using a GC instrument (Model 6890, Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) fitted with an Rxi‐5Sil MS column (0.25‐mm i.d., 0.25µm film; Restek) coupled to a TOF mass spectrometer (Leco, St. Joseph, MI, USA). Ten stable isotope reference compounds were used as internal standards (Kusano et al., 2007). All raw data in netCDF format were pre‐processed by hyphenated data analysis (Jonsson et al., 2005, 2006). The obtained data matrix was normalized and summarized using the cross‐contribution‐compensating multiple standard normalization method (Redestig et al., 2009). For metabolite identification, we cross‐referenced the obtained mass spectra with GC‐EI‐MS mass spectral and RI libraries (Schauer et al., 2005) in the Golm Metabolome Database (Kopka et al., 2005) and our own in‐house libraries. The reproducibility of GC‐TOF‐MS analysis was assessed with three biological replicates per experiment.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SOA composition was analyzed using a thermal desorption–gas chromatography mass spectrometry, or TD-GC/MS (TDS3, Gerstel, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany; Model 7890B and 5977A, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Briefly, a small punch of SOA filter (containing about 13 μg SOA) was placed into a thermal desorption system and heated from 40 to 320 °C at 60 °C/min and then held at 320 °C for 5 min. Carried by helium gas, the desorbed organic compounds were trapped and re-concentrated in a cooled liner at 20 °C. The liner was then heated to 320 °C and kept at 320 °C for 10 min to transfer all the organic components to the GC/MS. An Rxi-5sil MS column with dimensions of 29 m × 250 μm × 0.25 μm (Restek Corporation, Bellefonte, PA, USA) was used during the measurements. GC oven temperature was ramped from 50 to 300 °C at 10 °C/min, and held at 300 °C for 5 min.
For the analysis of the SOA extract, the remaining filter was extracted in methanol/water (1:3) solution. After sonication and filtration (to remove of quartz debris), 10 μL of the extract (containing about 7 μg SOA) was added onto a punch of a blank prebaked quartz filter. The filter punch was then analyzed by the same method mentioned previously.

The temperature of the injector port was 250 °C, and a 1 μL volume was injected into the splitless mode with a split flow of 50 mL/min and a splitless time of 1.0 min. The helium carrier gas flow rate was 0.85 mL/min. The ion source and transfer line temperature were 280 °C. The MS was operated in the electron ionization mode at 70 eV with the selective reaction monitoring (SRM) data acquisition mode. The MS/MS parameters are shown in Supplementary MaterialsTable S3.

The samples were injected into an Agilent 6890N (Agilent Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA) gas chromatograph equipped with a Rxi-5Sil MS column (30 m × 0.25 mmID × 0.25 μm; RESTEK, Bellefonte, PA, USA). We used the splitless injection mode and helium as a carrier gas at a constant flow rate of 1 mL/min.

The collection of volatiles emitted from 3‐week‐old rice plants was performed using a previously described open headspace system (Sun et al., 2017). In brief, volatiles were collected for 24 h on 50 mg of 60/80 mesh Tenax‐TA (Shanghai ANPEL Scientific Instrument Company, Shanghai, China). The collected volatiles were extracted with 300 μL of HPLC‐grade hexane (Fisher Scientific, New Jersey), to which 25.95 ng ethyl decanoate (Sigma‐Aldrich, Oakville, ON) was added as an internal standard. One microlitre of each sample was analysed using a Shimadzu GC‐MS (GC‐MS‐QP2010 SE, Japan) on an Rxi‐5Sil MS column (30 m × 0.250 mm×0.25 μm, Restek, Bad Homburg, Germany). The GC oven temperature program was 40°C for 1 min followed by an increase to 130°C at a rate of 4°C/min (5‐min hold) and then to 250°C at a rate of 10°C/min (5‐min hold). Chiral GC‐MS analysis of limonene was performed using an Rt‐β DEXsm column (Restek, Bad Homburg, Germany) and a temperature program of 40°C (1‐min hold) followed by an increase to 100°C at a rate of 1°C/min and then to 240°C at a rate of 10°C/min (2‐min hold). The flow rate of the carrier gas (helium) was 1 mL/min. Limonene standards were obtained from Sigma.

Reactions in MWPs were first stopped by acidifying with 50 μl l−1 of 10 mol l−1 H3PO4, subsequently 100 μl ethyl acetate were added to the reaction mixture. After incubating on a thermomixer for 10 min at 50 °C and 1000 rpm the samples were centrifuged and the organic phase removed.

The original temperature was maintained at 50°C for 1 min; the temperature was then increased to 330°C at a 10°C/min rate and maintained for 5 min. The ion source, transfer line and injection temperature were at 250°C, 280°C and 280°C, respectively. We performed the ionization with a voltage of -70 eV in the mode of electron impact during the mass spectrometry analysis process. The mass spectrometry data were acquired in the full-scan mode in the m/z range of 85–600 at a rate of 20 spectra per second after a solvent delay of 366 s.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
