Metabolome analysis of flavored vegetables, green spring onion (Allium fistulosum), Chinese chive (A. tuberosum), and their interspecies hybrid Negi-Nira chive, was conducted using liquid chromatography-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance-mass spectrometry, with ca. 2 ppm mass accuracy. Ion peaks in the chromatograms of four biological replicates of the vegetable leaves were processed using the alignment software PowerGet for metabolite comparison, from which we obtained the potential chemical formulae. In total, 860 ion peaks were reproducibly detected; of these, 506, 525, and 336 peaks were found in the hybrid, A. tuberosum, and A. fistulosum, respectively. There were 130 peaks specific to the hybrid; from these, 31 metabolites were annotated by searching compound databases. The sulfur-containing compounds and flavonoids were further analyzed using bioinformatics, to examine the sulfur metabolism of Allium volatiles and the flavonoid pathways in these species. In conclusion, our metabolome analysis of this interspecies hybrid and its parents provides a unique opportunity to elucidate their metabolic background.
