Gastrodia Elata Metabolite Profiles Across Three Developmental Stages

6209 metabolites across 17 categories were identified in tubers and stems of Gastrodia elata. The dataset includes 1624 differential metabolites and reveals gastrodin and parishin C accumulation patterns. Jingling Duan published this untargeted metabolomics study on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify cultivar-specific markers based on 22, 18, and 3 unique metabolites mentioned for three Gastrodia elata forms.
• Analyze metabolic pathway activity (e.g., flavonoid biosynthesis, zeatin metabolism) across developmental stages.
• Compare metabolite accumulation patterns (e.g., lipids, organic acids, carbohydrates) in tubers before and after bolting.
• Study the relationship between phytohormone signal transduction and bioactive compound (gastrodin, parishin C) accumulation.

Strengths

• Includes 6209 identified metabolites across 17 major categories.
• Contains 1624 differential metabolites with statistical significance (VIP > 1.5, P < 0.05).
• Identifies cultivar-specific metabolites (22, 18, and 3) for potential discrimination.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data is stored in a DOCX file format, which may require conversion for typical analysis.
