Abstract
ABSTRACT Job’s tears (coix) is a widely used grain with rich and balanced nutritional value. In this study, a total of 71 metabolites, including amino acid metabolism, sugar metabolism and fatty acid metabolism, were significantly increased in the germinating coix through liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Significant increase in gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) content during seed germination was detected in the metabolites detected. Transcript profiles generated through high-throughput RNA-sequencing data and 2431 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. The functional of DEGs were also significantly clustered in glucose metabolism and fatty acid metabolism. In the annotation of metabolite variation and differentially expressed genes, 23 regulatory genes and 10 significantly enriched metabolites for GABA content proliferation during coix germination were identified by association analysis. These results provided a theoretical basis for understanding the germination mechanism of coix and promoting its production and application.
期刊介绍:
Food and Agricultural Immunology is an international open access journal publishing original immunological research with applications in food, agricultural, environmental and veterinary science. Submissions describing the use of immunological techniques and methods are particularly welcomed.
The journal aims to expand our understanding of the interactions at the interface of food and immune systems including studies on:
-Development of diagnostic systems – all types of ligand-based assays, e.g. antibody, aptamer
-Application of ligand-based assays for the detection or identification of molecules of interest in food science, agricultural research, veterinary investigations and clinical systems relating to food allergy or sensitivity to agricultural chemicals
-Effects of food on the immune system
-Studies on allergy and allergic reactions
-Investigations into food allergies
-Development of allergen-free food systems
-Development of novel assay formats
-Applications of assay systems to the monitoring of food items in relation to safety and labelling
-Food quality issues, e.g. speciation, adulteration and contamination
-Comparisons between different analytical techniques
The journal publishes research and review articles and is essential reading for food scientists, immunologists and all those concerned with the interaction between food and immune systems.
