Abstract Secondary metabolites are a diverse set of plant compounds believed to have numerous functions in plant-environment interactions. Despite this importance, little is known about the regulation of secondary metabolite accumulation. We are studying the regulation of glucosinolates, a large group of secondary metabolites, in Arabidopsis to investigate how secondary metabolism is controlled. We utilized Ler and Cvi, two ecotypes of Arabidopsis that have striking differences in both the types and amounts of glucosinolates that accumulate in the seeds and leaves. QTL analysis identified six loci determining total aliphatic glucosinolate accumulation, six loci controlling total indolic glucosinolate concentration, and three loci regulating benzylic glucosinolate levels. Our results show that two of the loci controlling total aliphatic glucosinolates map to biosynthetic loci that interact epistatically to regulate aliphatic glucosinolate accumulation. In addition to the six loci regulating total indolic glucosinolate concentration, mapping of QTL for the individual indolic glucosinolates identified five additional loci that were specific to subsets of the indolic glucosinolates. These data show that there are a large number of variable loci controlling glucosinolate accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

AbstractGlucosinolates are a fascinating class of specialised metabolites found in the plants of Brassicacea family. The variation in glucosinolate composition across different Arabidopsis ecotypes could be a result of allelic compositions at different biosynthetic loci. The contribution of methylthioalkylmalate synthase (MAM) genes to diversity of glucosinolate profiles across different Arabidopsis ecotypes has been confirmed by genetic analyses. Different MAM isoforms utilise different chain-elongated substrates for glucosinolate biosynthesis causing thus a variation in chain lengths across different Arabidopsis ecotypes. To further investigate the relationship between the genotype and the associated metabolic phenotype, we studied the diversity of genes and enzymes of glucosinolate biosynthesis. Using Shannon entropy as a measure we revealed that several genes of the pathway show a clear derivation from the expected behaviour, either accumulating non-synonymous SNPs or showing signs of purifying selection. We found that the genotype-phenotype relationship is much more complicated than inferred from the diversity of MAM synthases. We conclude therefore, that the ON/OFF feature of key QTLs is not enough to elucidate the diversity of glucosinolates across different Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes and that glucosinolate profiles are determined also through the polymorphic residues along the coding regions of multiple metabolic genes.
