Study IDST001854
Study TitleMetabolic profiling of Rafflesia-infected Tetrastigma and applications for propagation
Study SummaryEndemic to the forests of Southeast Asia, Rafflesia (Rafflesiaceae) is a genus of holoparasitic plants producing the largest flowers in the world, yet completely dependent on its host, the tropical grape vine, Tetrastigma. Rafflesia species are threatened with extinction, making them an iconic symbol of plant conservation. Thus far, propagation has proved challenging, greatly decreasing efficacy of conservation efforts. This study compared the metabolites in the shoots of Rafflesia-infected and non-infected Tetrastigma loheri to examine how Rafflesia infection affects host metabolomics and elucidate the Rafflesia infection process. Results from LC-MS-based untargeted metabolomics analysis showed benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were significantly elevated in non-infected shoots and are here reported for the first time in the genus Tetrastigma, and in the grape family, Vitaceae. These metabolites have been implicated in plant defense mechanisms and may prevent a Rafflesia infection. In Rafflesia-infected shoots, oxygenated fatty acids, or oxylipins, and a flavonoid, previously shown involved in plant immune response, were abundant. This study provides a preliminary assessment of metabolites that differ between Rafflesia-infected and non-infected Tetrastigma hosts and may have applications in Rafflesia propagation to meet conservation goals.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO001924
Collection Summary:Cuttings of Rafflesia lagascae-infected Tetrastigma loheri Gagnep. and non-infected shoots were collected from San Lorenzo Ruiz Municipality, Mt. Guinatungan, Camarines Norte, Philippines. The non-infected cuttings were taken from sufficiently mature woody host vines that did not have any visible sign of Rafflesia infection (i.e. Rafflesia floral buds/scars absent), but mature enough that they could presumably support an infection since Rafflesia has never been observed to infect juvenile vines. Sections within ca. 5 cm of a Rafflesia bud, as well as comparable sections from non-infected cuttings, were subjected to LC-MS experiments.
Sample Type:Plant

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR001943
Treatment Summary:Sections within ca. 5 cm of a Rafflesia bud (i.e. infected), as well as comparable sections from non-infected cuttings, were subjected to LC-MS experiments.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP001937
Sampleprep Summary:Samples were first extracted in methanol (25 mg ground in 700 µL methanol). The extracts were evaporated to dryness under a gentle stream of nitrogen. Samples were prepared for injection by reconstituting in 0.3 mL of 1:1 MeOH/water.

MS Comments:Raw data were analyzed by using the online version of XCMS metabolomics software (version 1.10.9; Tautenhahn et al. 2012). To analyze the data in XCMS, we applied a pairwise comparison between infected and non-infected samples with default parameters for Bruker Q-TOF. After XCMS analysis, the difference reports were filtered. The features from XCMS with p-value < 0.05, intensities above 50000, and fold difference of at least 5, were analyzed further in Bruker Compass Data Analysis v4.3 and Metfrag Web (Ruttkies et al. 2016; https://msbi.ipb-halle.de/MetFragBeta/) to identify metabolites of interest. The neutral molecular formula of the precursor ions (desired features) and their MS/MS fragmentation spectra were then obtained in Bruker Compass Data Analysis and given as input in the MS/MS peak list in Metfrag. All other settings were kept at default values. Candidate metabolites were then retrieved with the highest scoring candidates subjected to additional analysis in CFM-ID (Allen et al. 2014; http://cfmid.wishartlab.com/) to confirm Metfrag candidates. Metfrag and CFM-ID are silico fragmentation tools that utilize known compounds from structure databases to calculate fragments that are matched to experimentally obtained spectra (Blaženović et al. 2018). In addition to these automated approaches, we have also performed a manual dereplication approach to verify the metabolites of interest, as described in previous publications (Gödecke et al. 2009; Nikolić et al. 2012; Nikolić et al. 2015; Nikolic et al. 2017).
