| Popis: | Plant systematic studies have changed substantially in the last years, stimulated by new strategies for phylogenetic studies. In this regard, chemistry data has been a useful tool for understanding plant phylogenetic relationships. Our aim was to apply metabolomic approaches, followed by multivariate statistical analysis and dereplication of Tabebuia sensu lato species, and compare our results with classifications based on traditional taxonomy and molecular phylogeny. We also evaluated the application of metabolomics as a chemotaxonomic identification tool, as well as to enlighten plant chemical evolution. Metabolomic data was generated through a high-resolution mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization of 27 Tabebuia sensu lato specimens from different populations, consisting of 15 Handroanthus (from four species) and 12 Tabebuia sensu stricto (from three species). Chemometric tools, such as principal component analysis and metabolite heatmaps, were used to scrutinize the metabolic changes among species. Tabebuia and Handroanthus species presented different secondary metabolite storage capacity. The genus Tabebuia revealed higher levels of glycosylated iridoids esterified with a phenylpropanoid moiety, such as specioside, verminoside, and minecoside, while Handroanthus accumulated iridoids linked to a simple phenol, lignans, and verbascoside derivatives. These results corroborate splitting the Tabebuia s.l., which was supported by profound changes in secondary metabolism, suggesting metabolomics as an excellent tool for understanding species evolution. |
