AtMetExpress LC-MS ia a phytochemical atlas of Arabidopsis thaliana. Now, following two datasets are available.
We analyzed phytochemical accumulation during development of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in samples covering many growth stages and organs. We also obtained MS/MS spectral tags of many metabolites as a resource for elucidation of metabolite structure. These are part of the AtMetExpress metabolite accumulation atlas. Based on the dataset, we detected 1,589 metabolite signals from which the structures of 167 metabolites were elucidated.

[AtMetExpress Development database]
AtMetExpress Development database produced a peak search function by using following information as queries such as polarity, accession number, retention time, m/z, annotation text, and MS/MS spectral similarity. From a list of search results, a metabolite signal of interest could be selected and its detailed information such as lists of tagged MS2Ts, results of database searching, final annotation, annotation levels, heat map representation of metabolite levels in each tissue, and raw chromatogram data of representative peak in all samples.
BL-SOM viewer is able to map genes (by AGI code) and metabolites (by metabolite accession) of your interest on the results of BL-SOM analysis of AtGenExpress and AtMetExpress data.
In order to clarify any possible similarity of expression pattern of each gene to the accumulation pattern of its associated metabolites, we conducted a clustering analysis using the batch-learning self-organizing map (BL-SOM) method developed by Kanaya lab. in NAIST. BL-SOM is an improved and a reproducible method of the original SOM, and thus applied to integrated analysis of transcriptome and metabolome leading to successful prediction of genes' functions. All 1,589 metabolite signals with 10,147 metabolism-related genes (selected by GO terms) were classified into a 30 by 26 lattice according to their relative expression level across 36 tissues.
All raw data files (36 tissues, 4 replicate, two acquisition modes (positive and negative ion mode) = 288 files) are downloadable from DROP Met. Meta-information of each data is also available.
[Raw and processed matrix data]
Raw and processed matirx data files (Intensity data of 1589 metabolite in 144 samples [36 tissues, 4 replicates]) produced in the project are downloadable.
MS/MS spectral tag data (MS2T) obtained in this project was available from MS2T viewer page.
For determining the metabolite levels, we obtained quadruplicate metabolic profiles of 36 distinct tissues by using a liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer (LC-ESI-Q-Tof/MS) according to previously described methods (Matsuda et al (2009)). The obtained data matrix contains the relative peak intensity values of 1,589 metabolite signals from 144 samples as below (36 tissues by 4 replicates). The experimental design was compatible with that of the AtGenExpress developmental (Schmid et al., 2005) series for integrated analyses with transcriptome data.

To investigate variations in the composition of secondary metabolites among Arabidopsis strains (accessions), metabolic profile data were obtained from the rosette leaves of 20 accessions of Arabidopsis by LC-ESI-Q-Tof/MS analysis. The 20 diverse accessions evaluated herein were previously selected by Clark et al. (2007) to investigate the genetic variations within the population of Arabidopsis. Metabolite signals were automatically indentified or annotated by the compound name, as well as characterized by the metabolite ontolgy terms.
