Why phenylpropanoids? • they affect growth, development and reproduction (Huang et al., 2010)
Why phenylpropanoids? • they may be involved in cell proliferation and differentiation (Tamagnone et al., 1998; Tsukagoshi et al., 2011) • they are induced by cytokinins (Deikman et al., 1995)
Pros fast analysis of all detectable metabolites in a simple run effective selection of metabolites which account for the most variability in the dataset most suitable for abundant compounds, such as phenylpropanoids Cons low sensitivity with many instrumentations complicated use of internal standards more technical replicatesneeded (pooled samples), lower column lifetime challenging data processing Semi-targeted analysis (vs. targeted)
CRITICAL! Semi-targeted UPLC analysis Statistical software, multivariate analysis (MVA) Biological replicates Data export Pooled samples Data filtering, chromatogram building & deconvolution peak detection & alignment Extraction Randomiz., UPLC-MS Raw data export

What is it useful for? • to compare “all” metabolites in various genotypes or treatments • to find compounds which are affected the most • to identify and quantify interesting candidates
