Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an herb of the genus Chenopodiaceae that is native to the Andes Mountains of South America. To understand the metabolic differences between various quinoa strains, we selected quinoa strains of four colors (black, red, yellow, and white) and we subjected seeds to extensive targeted metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and transcriptomics analysis. In total, 90 flavonoid-related metabolites were detected in quinoa seeds of the four colors. We elucida ted the regulatory mechanisms of flavonoid biosynthesis in the different quinoa varieties, and thus identified key genes for flavonoid biosynthesis. The results showed that 18 flavone metabolites and 25 flavonoid-related genes were key contributors to flavonoid biosynthesis in quinoa seeds. The results of this study may provide a basis for the breeding and identification of new quinoa strains and for the screening of potential target genes in flavonoid biosynthesis regulation in quinoa.

Software environment and programming language for statistical computing and graphics. R is integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. Can be extended via packages. Some packages are supplied with the R distribution and more are available through CRAN family.It compiles and runs on wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS.
View all literature mentionsComputable knowledge regarding functions of genes and gene products. GO resources include biomedical ontologies that cover molecular domains of all life forms as well as extensive compilations of gene product annotations to these ontologies that provide largely species-neutral, comprehensive statements about what gene products do. Used to standardize representation of gene and gene product attributes across species and databases.

View all literature mentionsSoftware Java pipeline for trimming tasks for Illumina paired end and single ended data. Flexible Trimmer for Illumina Sequence Data. Pair aware preprocessing tool optimized for Illumina next generation sequencing data. Includes several processing steps for read trimming and filtering. Operating systems Unix/Linux, Mac OS, Windows.
View all literature mentionsSoftware tool for transcriptome assembly and differential expression analysis for RNA-Seq. Includes script called cuffmerge that can be used to merge together several Cufflinks assemblies. It also handles running Cuffcompare as well as automatically filtering a number of transfrags that are likely to be artifacts. If the researcher has a reference GTF file, the researcher can provide it to the script to more effectively merge novel isoforms and maximize overall assembly quality.
