基于靶向代谢组学技术研究储藏对稻谷能量代谢的影响

    Study on the energy metabolism of rice during storage based on the targeted metabolomics

    • 摘要: 为了探究稻谷在储藏期间的品质变化并研究其品质劣变机制,将粳稻(初始水分12.6%)置于25℃条件下储藏,监测了储藏期间稻谷品质的变化,并采用靶向代谢组学对储藏初期和末期稻谷样品进行了比较。研究表明:稻谷储藏期间的水分含量均处于安全储藏水分范围内,整精米率、发芽率以及过氧化氢酶活性随储藏时间的增加均呈下降趋势,而稻谷脂肪酸值以及活性氧含量在储藏后显著增加;利用靶向代谢组学共检测到28种与能量代谢相关的代谢物;对代谢物定性和定量分析结果表明,经过储藏,稻谷细胞三羧酸循环和糖酵解途径加强,磷酸戊糖途径减弱;稻谷在储藏过程中品质劣变的机理为稻谷在储藏期间产生了大量活性氧,活性氧可以调控细胞能量代谢以应对外界环境,然而储藏过程中活性氧未被及时清除,其过量积累导致稻谷加工品质以及生理活性下降。稻谷的安全保质储藏对保证粮食安全具有重要意义,对稻谷储藏期间品质劣变机制的研究可为提出延缓稻谷品质劣变的方法提供理论依据。

       

      Abstract: To investigate the quality changes of rice grains during storage and study the mechanism of its quality deterioration, Japonica rice (with an initial moisture content of 12.6%) was stored at 25℃, and its moisture content, whole refined rice ratio, germination rate, fatty acid value, catalase activity, and reactive oxygen species content during storage were monitored. The quality indicators of rice were measured according to the national standards. Targeted metabolomics was employed to compare the rice samples at the beginning and end of the storage period. The detection of metabolites were carried out by HPLC-MS/MS. The research revealed that the moisture content of the rice remained within the safe storage range throughout the storage period. The whole rice percentage, the germination rate, and catalase activity all exhibited decreasing trends. In addition, the fatty acid value and reactive oxygen species content of the rice significantly increased after storage. A total of 28 metabolites related to energy metabolism were detected using targeted metabolomics. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of these metabolites indicated that the tricarboxylic acid cycle and Embden Meyerhof Parnas pathway were strengthened, while the pentose phosphate pathway was weakened in rice cells after storage. The mechanism of quality deterioration during storage was that a large amount of reactive oxygen species were produced. Reactive oxygen species can regulate the energy metabolism in response to external environments. However, it was difficult to remove the reactive oxygen species by vitrue of the decrease of the antioxidant enzyme activity. The excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species led to declines of rice processing quality and physiological activity. Safe and quality-preserved storage of rice grains is of great significance for ensuring food security. Research into the mechanism of rice quality deterioration during storage can provide a theoretical basis for proposing methods to delay rice quality deterioration.
