Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although metabolites of barley grains have been analyzed, the changes in metabolite abundance and gene expression regulation mechanisms during barley grain development have not been elucidated. Here, we explore the dynamic accumulation patterns of metabolites in barley grains at six different developmental stages by analyzing high-resolution metabolomic and transcriptomic data from Huadamai6 and Huaai11. We detect 986 metabolites and 18,868 co-expressed genes. Meanwhile, we identify 1057 mQTLs associated with 553 metabolites in a double haploid (DH) population derived from these two cultivars, and integrate metabolome, transcriptome, and mQTL information to construct a global co-expression regulatory network of barley grain metabolism. Using this dataset, we excavate transcription factors and structural genes that regulate flavonoid metabolism pathway, and also reveal the complex mechanism of HvC1-1 and HvMYC-1 regulating grain color differentiation in the DH population. Our findings reveal the metabolic regulatory network of barley grains development, and provide valuable resources for future nutritional quality improvement and molecular design breeding of barley. This study establishes a dynamic regulatory network for barley grain development integrating genetic, metabolic, and gene expression information, revealing the regulatory role of key transcription factors in barley grain flavonoid metabolism and grain color formation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
