Comparative metabolomic analysis of epidermal bladder cells in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum under salt stress
To investigate the changes of metabolites in epidermal bladder cells of the halophytic species Mesembryanthemum crystallinum under salt stress,the metabolites in the epidermal bladder cells of M.crystallinum under control and salt stress were identified and analyzed by using the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS),and a total of 356 known metabolites were identified in the epidermal bladder cells.Analysis of differential metabolites showed that the levels of 37 metabolites in the epidermal bladder cells were significantly changed under the salt stress.Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of the differential metabolites based on the KEGG database showed significant perturbations in six biochemical pathways defined in KEGG,such as phytohormone signaling,zeatin biosynthesis,purine metabolism,etc.These results indicate that salt treatment can cause significant changes in metabolites in epidermal bladder cells of M.crystallinum.
