Title	Metabolomics reveals comprehensive reprogramming involving two independent metabolic responses of Arabidopsis to UV-B light.
Description	Because of ever-increasing environmental deterioration it is likely that the influx of UV-B radiation (280-320 nm) will increase as a result of the depletion of stratospheric ozone. Given this fact it is essential that we better understand both the rapid and the adaptive responses of plants to UV-B stress. Here, we compare the metabolic responses of wild-type Arabidopsis with that of mutants impaired in flavonoid (transparent testa 4, tt4; transparent testa 5, tt5) or sinapoyl-malate (sinapoylglucose accumulator 1, sng1) biosynthesis, exposed to a short 24-h or a longer 96-h exposure to this photo-oxidative stress. In control experiments we subjected the genotypes to long-day conditions as well as to 24- and 96-h treatments of continuous light. Following these treatments we evaluated the dynamic response of metabolites including flavonoids, sinapoyl-malate precursors and ascorbate, which are well known to play a role in cellular protection from UV-B stress, as well as a broader range of primary metabolites, in an attempt to more fully comprehend the metabolic shift following the cellular perception of this stress. Our data reveals that short-term responses occur only at the level of primary metabolites, suggesting that these effectively prime the cell to facilitate the later production of UV-B-absorbing secondary metabolites. The combined results of these studies together with transcript profiles using samples irradiated by 24-h UV-B light are discussed in the context of current models concerning the metabolic response of plants to the stress imposed by excessive UV-B irradiation.

Title	ANOVA for evaluation of metabolite changes
Description	For evaluation of plate effects to metabolite change, we performed ANOVA. The three-WAY ANOVA (genotype, plates and treatment) for each light conditions. We could not observe significance difference by plate effect in general, but we observed few specific compounds exhibiting a plate effect such as methionine-derived glucosinolates (3-methylsulfinyl propyl glucosinolate, 4-methylsulfinylbutyl glucosinolate, 4-methylthiobutyl glucosinolate and 5-methylsulfinylpentyl glucosinolate) in the time point at 24h (p<0.05). Metabolite changes which were given by the plate effect were discarded from the analysis.
