#METABOLOMICS WORKBENCH myaish_20190318_070818 DATATRACK_ID:1677 STUDY_ID:ST001155 ANALYSIS_ID:AN001911 PROJECT_ID:PR000774 VERSION 1 CREATED_ON March 22, 2019, 11:27 am #PROJECT PR:PROJECT_TITLE The Effect of Silicon on Salinity Tolerance and the Associated Metabolomics PR:PROJECT_TITLE Profile Changes in Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) PR:PROJECT_TYPE Plant Metabolites PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Silicon has a promising role in the growth and salinity tolerance in plants. PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY While the results obtained from the current study showed that silicon enhanced PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY growth in date palm seedlings, the mechanism behind this observation was also PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY investigated by studying changes occurred in metabolomic profiles triggered by PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY silicon under salinity. The global metabolomic analysis using PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY liquid-chromatography-mass-spectrometry revealed the presence of a number PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY significantly (p ≤ 0.05) accumulated metabolites in leaves and roots when PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY plants were irrigated with silicon and grown under control and salinity PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY conditions.

CO:SAMPLE_TYPE Plant #TREATMENT TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY Once the radicle of the seeds had emerged, they were then transferred to potting TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY compost and maintained at 32C/30C with a photoperiod of 16/8 h in the growth TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY chamber. The seedlings were then divided into four sets based on their TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY treatments and were irrigated either with tap water with an electrical TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY conductivity of 50 mS/m, considered as a control treatment (control), 300 mM TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY NaCl without additional silicon for salt stress (NaCl), 5 mM Na2SiO3 (+Si) for TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY silicon treatment or 5 mM of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) along with 300 mM NaCl TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY (NaCl+Si) for salt stress and silicon treatment. The NaCl and silicon treatments TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY were administered on a weekly basis, as irrigation. #SAMPLEPREP SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY A total of 24 samples were analyzed using LC-MS by HILIC chromatography on a 0.5 SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY x 150 mm Zic-pHILIC column using 10 mM NH4HCO3 in water (A) and 10 mM NH4HCO3 in SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 95% acetonitrile (B) as solvents and by RPLC chromatography using the same SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY solvents and a 0.5 x 100 mm PLRPS column. The Samples were extracted at a tissue SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY concentration of 100 mg/mL (leaves) or 50 mg/mL (roots) in 80% methanol by SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY vortexing for 10 minutes. The solids were collected by centrifugation, and then SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY the supernatant was filtered through a 0.8 μm spin filter. Samples were SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY injected onto the LC-MS and data was acquired in polarity switching mode with SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY data dependent acquisition of MS/MS spectra. #CHROMATOGRAPHY CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_TYPE HILIC CH:INSTRUMENT_NAME Thermo Q-Exactive CH:COLUMN_NAME Zic-pHILIC column 0.5 x 150 mm #ANALYSIS AN:ANALYSIS_TYPE MS AN:LABORATORY_NAME Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, Saint Louis, MO 63132, USA AN:OPERATOR_NAME Bradley S. Evans #MS MS:INSTRUMENT_NAME Thermo Q Exactive Orbitrap MS:INSTRUMENT_TYPE Orbitrap MS:MS_TYPE ESI MS:ION_MODE UNSPECIFIED MS:MS_COMMENTS Samples were injected onto the LC-MS and data was acquired in polarity switching MS:MS_COMMENTS mode with data dependent acquisition of MS/MS spectra. The ion mode is MS:MS_COMMENTS polarity-switching, which means it scans in positive and negative ion mode MS:MS_COMMENTS during the sample run, switching between the two modes about every 20 MS:MS_COMMENTS milliseconds.
