The oxalate content often reaches 5% of the dry weight leaves. Excess uptake of oxalate-rich plants causes mineral deficiencies in vertebrates, so it is important to reduce the oxalate content in rice leaves to produce high-quality rice straw. However, the mechanism of oxalate accumulation in rice has remained unknown. In this study, we performed metabolome analysis of rice M 2 population generated by ion-beam irradiation using CE-MS to understand metabolic networks relating oxalate accumulation in rice. The result showed wide variation of oxalate contents in M 2 plants compared with those of control plants. Multivariate analyses of metabolome dataset revealed that oxalate accumulation was strongly related with anionic compounds such as 2OG and succinate. For low-oxalate plants, four patterns of metabolic alterations affected oxalate contents in the M 2 leaves were observed. In M 3 plants, we found putative low-oxalate line obtained from low-oxalate M 2 mutant. These findings would lead to produce the low-oxalate rice and to understand the oxalate synthesis in plants.}, title = {Metabolome analysis of rice leaves to obtain low-oxalate strain from ion beam-mutagenised population}, volume = {16}, year = {2020} }
