Distribution Patterns of Metabolites in Medicinal Parts of Wild and Cultivated Scabiosa tschiliensis
To address the issue of differences in the quality formation of cultivated Scabiosa tschiliensis,wild and cultivated S.tschiliensis were used as experimental materials.Ultra high performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze the content of metabolites in the medicinal parts of wild and cultivated S.tschiliensis.The results showed that the content of the main bioactive compounds in wild S.tschiliensis was significantly higher than that in cultivated S.tschiliensis.The metabolites in the inflorescence of wild S.tschiliensis were different from those in cultivated S.tschiliensis.The content of some important amino acids related to abiotic stress(drought and salinity)was significantly higher in wild S.tschiliensis.The content of upstream compounds in phenylalanine and flavonoid synthesis in cultivated S.tschiliensis is higher,indicating that the initial stage of synthesis of secondary metabolites may be different.
