Osbeck), mandarins (<italic>C. clementina</italic> hort. Ex Tan. and <italic>C. reticulata</italic> Blanco), lemons (<italic>Citrus × limon</italic> L. Burm.f.) and grapefruits (<italic>C. paradisi</italic> Macf.). Besides these species, there are other related species with agronomic uses as rootstocks or for ornamental purposes (e.g. <italic>Poncirus trifoliata</italic> L. Raf.). Usually, the different cultivars within a species show low genetic variability but do have particular desirable phenotypic characteristics such as precocity or delayed harvesting, seedless fruits, sugar and acid accumulation, easiness to peel, etc. However, alteration of the harvesting period is one of the most desirable traits, either when precocity or delayed harvesting is achieved. This alteration has additional impacts on fruit quality, as environmental variables change over the year and irradiation, temperature and humidity influence fruit growth, accumulation of sugars and acids and other non-palatable chemical constituents [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. It is difficult to have a control on the buildup of these compounds in fruits over the maturation process. This fraction of citrus juice is constituted, among others, by carotenoids, triterpenoids, flavonoids and other secondary metabolites known to have an impact on health [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>]. It has been previously shown that different citrus juices have different carotenoid profiles depending on genotype and growth conditions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>] that could have an impact on citrus nutritional properties. To this respect, within a particular growth area, the genotype is expected to be the major contributing factor determining fruit compositional properties, and therefore genetic mutations that give rise to new varieties would also affect fruit chemical composition [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. Nevertheless, despite the enormous amount of information available it has been so far impossible to establish a reliable model of metabolite flow in citrus fruits. A possible utilization pathway for citric acid was proposed linking it to acetyl-CoA through ATP-citrate lyase after isomerization to isocitrate catalyzed by aconitase [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. This acetyl-CoA could be in turn channeled to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as limonoids, carotenoids and xanthophylls through the methyl-eriothritiol phosphate pathway. Moreover, biosynthesis of flavonoids and other phenylpropanoids is fueled by intermediates generated during glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway. To add more complexity to the model, levels of these compounds are determined by the activity of different enzymes that are, in turn, responsible for their biosynthesis, their degradation/biotransformation and/or the conjugation to different chemical moieties. In this sense, as the enzyme activity is generally associated to gene expression, metabolites could be considered the end-products of gene expression [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. Therefore, to better understand the regulation of secondary metabolism in citrus fruits a comprehensive and unbiased analysis of this class of compounds is required. To this regard, non-targeted LC/MS metabolite profiling has proved to be a valuable tool for phenotyping environmentally- or genetically-induced variations in secondary metabolite composition [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>] as well as to evaluate the impact of stress on plant biochemistry [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>]. This technique has been previously used to assess adulteration of citrus juice with grape or apple ones [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>] and, more recently, to phenotype wild type and mutant orange varieties [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>].</p><p>The aim of this work was to investigate the differences in secondary metabolite composition within and between five important commercial citrus fruit groups: oranges (blonde and navel), mandarins, grapefruits and lemons (see Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>).

Commercial maturity refers to the timing of harvest to meet specific market and consumer requirements. In citrus, this is assessed by means of the maturity index (°Brix/acidity, see Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref> for usual maturity index values). Genotypes were characterized according to an enlarged modification of the “Descriptor for Citrus” from the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. At least four fruits, one from each direction on the tree, were collected from three replicate trees (n = 3) grafted onto the same rootstock. Juice extraction was performed by manual squeezing and juice of fruits from the same tree was pooled. Juice aliquots were immediately stored at −80°C until analyses with no further processing. Right before chromatographic analyses, frozen fruit juices were thawed at room temperature, centrifuged and the supernatants filtered through PTFE syringe filters (0.2 μm pore size) directly to vials.</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Chromatographic and QTOF-MS conditions</title><p>Fruit juices were separated by reversed phase HPLC using acetonitrile (B) and water (A), both supplemented with formic acid to a concentration of 0.1% (v/v), as solvents and a C18 column (5-μm particle size, 100 9 2.1 mm, XTerra™, Waters). The separation module, a Waters Alliance 2965 was operated in gradient mode at a flow rate of 300 μl min<sup>−1</sup> for 30 min as follows: 0–2 min 95:5 (A:B) followed by an increase in B from 5 to 95 in the following 26 min (2.01-28.00 min), thereafter returning to initial conditions (29.01-30.00 min) that were maintained for 5 min for column reconditioning. Column eluates were introduced into a QTOF-MS (Micromass Ltd., Manchester, UK) through an ESI source operated in positive and negative mode. Nitrogen was used as the nebulization as well as the desolvation gas and working flows were set at 100 and 800 L h<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. Source block temperature was kept at 120°C and desolvation gas at 350°C. Capillary, cone, and extractor voltages were set at 4 kV, 25 eV, and 3 eV, respectively. Before analyses, the QTOF-MS was calibrated by infusing a mixture of NaOH and HCOOH at a flow rate of 25 μl min<sup>−1</sup>. After calibration, the average error was less than 5 ppm. During acquisition, a one-ppm solution of Leu-enkephalin ([M+H]<sup>+</sup> = 556.2771) was continuously post column infused as a lockmass reference.

Chromatographic peak detection was performed using the matchedFilter algorithm, applying the following parameter settings: snr = 3, fwhm = 15 s, step = 0.01 D, mzdiff = 0.1 Da, and profmethod = bin. Retention time correction was achieved in three iterations applying the parameter settings minfrac = 1, bw = 30 s, mzwid = 0.05 Da, span = 1, and missing = extra = 1 for the first iteration; minfrac = 1, bw = 10 s, mzwid = 0.05 Da, span = 0.6, and missing = extra = 0 for the second iteration; and minfrac = 1, bw = 5 s, mzwid = 0.05 Da, span = 0.5, and missing = extra = 0 for the third iteration.

HCA, followed by bootstrap resampling (n = 1000) to validate grouping, was performed on raw data without any variable selection to observe natural grouping of samples. The classification provided by unsupervised HCA confirmed homogeneity of sample groups (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>) and allowed using genotype denomination as parameter to feed PLS-DA. This strategy was further used to select potential variables contributing to the provided classification. Prior to analyses, data were normalized to total ion intensity. The potential variables contributing to the classification were selected based on variable importance in the projection (VIP > 2.0) values. Relevant variables were then confirmed after integration of chromatographic peaks and analysis of variance (ANOVA) of peak areas throughout the 12 sample groups. The metabolites were tentatively identified by elucidation of structures with MS fragments, comparison of accurate <italic>m/z</italic> value and MS fragmentation pattern with literature and co-injection with pure standards when available. All standards were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Madrid, Spain) except for ABA and derivatives that were obtained from the Plant Biotechnology Institute of the National Research Council (Canada).<fig id="Fig1"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p><bold>Hierarchical clustering dendrograms obtained from (a) positive and (b) negative electrospray metabolite profiles of citrus juices.</bold> On every node, approximate unbiased (red, au) and bootstrap values (green, bp) are presented.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="12870_2015_430_Fig1_HTML" id="MO1"></graphic></fig></p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec7" sec-type="results"><title>Results and discussion</title><sec id="Sec8"><title>Non-targeted analysis of secondary metabolite features in citrus fruit juices</title><p>The analyses, carried out by means of reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to a QTOF-MS operated in positive and negative ionization modes, rendered a number of chromatograms that were extracted with XCMS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. The resulting datasets were subjected to HCA using the R package pvclust and presented as dendrograms in Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>. The results showed grouping of sample replicates in tight clusters according to the juice source fruit (see Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>). In addition, relationship between clusters was in agreement with the expected phylogenetic relationships among varieties showing a perfect separation of the represented groups: grapefruits, lemons, oranges (blonde and navel types) and mandarins (see Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S1). All varieties could be resolved using different component combinations after PLS-DA. In addition, loadings plots indicated that some variables were important in defining the different sample groups (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM2" ref-type="media">2</xref>: Figure S2a through f). Component 2 resolved well ‘Washington’ navel from the rest whereas ‘Sucrenya’ resolved along component 3. A combination of components 5 and 6 allowed the resolution of grapefruits and the two varieties included in this group. Component 5 alone allowed the discrimination of ‘Hernandina’ from the rest of varieties. A better resolution for grapefruits was obtained along component 8. Meanwhile, component 7 resolved well ‘Nadorcott’ and ‘Midknight’ varieties. Lemons resolved along component 10 whereas component 9 discriminated ‘Pixie’ from the rest. A combination of components 9 and 10, allowed demarcation of ‘Fortune’ and ‘Lane late’ although these two varieties were better resolved along component 11 in combination with component 1 (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM2" ref-type="media">2</xref>: Figure S2f). The two grapefruit varieties were the utmost distant species included in the study followed by lemons, both constituting highly tight clusters in the HCA (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). This is probably due to their clear phylogenetic origin, grapefruits are crosses between sweet orange <italic>Citrus sinensis</italic> and <italic>Citrus maxima</italic> (pummelo), whereas lemons arise from the cross of sour orange <italic>Citrus aurantium</italic> and <italic>Citrus medica</italic> (citron, see Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S1 for more details). Two major clusters originated from grouping oranges (‘Sucrenya’, ‘Lane late’, ‘Midknight’ and ‘Washington’) and mandarins (‘Hernandina’, ‘Pixie’, ‘Fortune’ and ‘Nadorcott’) that are also phylogenetically related. To this respect, although ‘Lane late’, ‘Midknight’ and ‘Washington’ always occurred together, ‘Sucrenya’ appeared as a separate cluster probably due to its acidless juice characteristics. Moreover, in both ionization modes the methodology efficiently demarcated mandarins in two groups: ‘Fortune’/‘Nadorcott’, arising from clementine × mandarin cross-pollination and an open pollination of ‘Murcott’ mandarin (see Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>) respectively,and ‘Hernandina’/‘Pixie’, resulting from a bud mutation from ‘Fina’ clementine and an open pollination of ‘Kincy’ mandarin, correspondingly. Mandarins are self-incompatible citrus species that usually produce seedless fruits unless flowers are cross-pollinated with compatible species. These cross-pollination has been extensively used to generate new commercial cultivars with particular fruit traits that differ from those of each parental. Examples of this are ‘Fortune’ and Nadorcott’, often classified as mandarin hybrids, which share several fruit morphology, color and aroma characteristics. On the other hand, ‘Hernandina’ and ‘Pixie’, although are classified as two different species, they show more similar phenotypic traits, including morphology, flavor and period of maturation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. It is likely that despite of differences in their genetic origin the respective overcrosses yielded varieties with similar metabolite phenotypes quite different from the rest of varieties included in this study. Profiling of citrus juices in negative electrospray also gave the required resolution to discriminate genotypes included in the navel and blonde groups: ‘Lane late’/‘Washington’ and ‘Sucrenya’/‘Midknight’, respectively. In this sense, it is worthwhile to note that ‘Sucrenya’ always occurred as a separate group from oranges. This is likely a result of its particular juice traits. This variety usually shows very low titratable acid contents, compared to the rest of blonde or navel-type varieties [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. Nevertheless, although all related varieties (within the same group) clustered together, it was still possible to clearly differentiate each of them (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="Sec9"><title>Variable selection and annotation of compounds</title><p>In order to identify those variables contributing to the observed classification (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>), a PLS-DA was carried out using the entire XCMS output using sample classification provided by HCA. PLS-DA calculates a regression model between the multivariate dataset (each variable consisting of a <italic>m/z</italic> and retention time value) and a response variable that only contains class information (e.g. the variety classification provided by HCA). This analysis yielded a number of variables (chromatographic peaks, each represented by <italic>m/z</italic> and retention time values) ranked from very important (VIP > 2 to 1.5) to irrelevant (VIP values lower than 1). Scores 3D scatter plots from PLS-DA results indicated an optimal performance of the model to differentiate big groups of fruits: lemons, grapefruits, oranges and mandarins (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>) and, in addition, some varieties were clearly differentiated within their respective groups such as both grapefruit cultivars, ‘Pixie’ mandarin and ‘Sucrenya’ blonde orange. Nevertheless, by representing other combinations of components the model is also able to clearly differentiate closely-related varieties within a group (data not shown). In general, varieties were grouped according to genotype and not harvesting period (Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>). It seems clear that environmental growth conditions have an influence on fruit secondary metabolite composition as shown in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. In that case, carotenoid composition of orange and mandarin varieties grown in Mediterranean, subtropical and tropical conditions was evaluated showing clear differences. However, when the same parameter was evaluated in varieties grown in the same climatic conditions, little changes could be observed throughout the year. Therefore, the differences in secondary metabolite composition observed in the present work are likely to arise as particular genotype traits rather than being induced by environmental changes. Biochemical evolution of fruits throughout the ripening process is also an important aspect. In this work, all fruits were harvested at optimum commercial maturity. It is likely that fruit metabolite composition changes during fruit growth and maturation and also during the postharvest period. However, it is expected that they keep their characteristic traits. Recently, it was shown that even after industrial orange juice processing it was possible to identify adulteration with other juice sources, such as apple or grapefruit [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. This demonstrates that industrial juice processing is not sufficient to remove or mask the discriminant metabolite of orange juice. Moreover, metabolomic analysis of pulp extracts of an orange bud mutant variety and its parental at different harvesting dates revealed higher differences between varieties than among sampling dates. Therefore, it could be hypothesized that differences among varieties could be minimized throughout the ripening process; however, the discriminant metabolite traits allowing demarcation of genotypes would still remain present.<fig id="Fig2"><label>Figure 2</label><caption><p><bold>Scores 3D scatter plots after PLS-DA analysis.</bold></p></caption><graphic xlink:href="12870_2015_430_Fig2_HTML" id="MO2"></graphic></fig></p><p>Chromatographic mass features showing a VIP value higher than 1.5 were located and further inspected using Masslynx 4.1. software to attain structure elucidation and annotation of compounds. A number of potential metabolites were identified and annotated based on structural elucidation, literature search and comparison with commercial standards, when available (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). According to their putative annotation, all compounds were grouped into metabolite classes and their relative accumulation represented as metabolite flow charts (Figures <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>, <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>). ABA and its derivatives were identified based on mass spectra and/or comparison with commercial standards. It has been previously shown that variations in the expression of <italic>NCED2</italic> and <italic>3</italic> are correlated with endogenous ABA levels. To this respect, juice sacs of satsuma mandarin had higher ABA levels than those of lemons or sweet oranges along with higher NCED expression [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. This could be somehow associated to differences found in carotenoid content among citrus varieties [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. Besides changes in expression and activity of NCEDs, carotenoid precursor availability could influence ABA content. Citrus fruits are also important sources of flavonoids, including several kaempferol, hesperetin, naringenin and isorhamnetin derivatives that were putatively identified based on the literature and the comparison with commercial standards. In addition, three metabolites showing a <italic>m/z</italic> compatible with their annotation as tangeretin ([M+H]<sup>+</sup> 373.1397, ΔDa −0.011) were detected under positive electrospray ionization (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). This would indicate the presence of different tangeretin isomers with identical composition but methoxylated in different positions. Moreover, some limonoids were annotated in citrus samples. These compounds are triterpenoids derived from squalene by formation of a polycyclic molecule containing a furanolactone core structure [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>] and some of them are known to provide bitter taste to citrus juices namely limonin, nomilin, obacunone and nomilinic acid. Limonoids can also be released from their respective glycosylated forms upon cleavage after freeze damage or other environmental stress conditions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>]. These compounds have been associated to fruit quality and reported to have important health benefits [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>]. Besides, some bitter limonoids can be present as tasteless A-ring lactones that were also tentatively annotated in this work. In addition, some compounds involved in other mixed pathways, such as the aminoacids Phe and Trp, involved in aromatic and indolic compound biosynthesis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>] and a ferulic acid hexoside, derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway, were also annotated.<table-wrap id="Tab2"><label>Table

This allows classifying most metabolites as part of specific biosynthetic pathways, the relative concentration of each metabolite throughout all analyzed genotypes is represented as a color scale (Figures <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>, <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref> and <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>) following the same sample order as in Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>. The validity of each metabolite marker was assessed by ANOVA comparing peak areas throughout sample groups (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM3" ref-type="media">3</xref>: Table S1). This was achieved using the quantifier ion (an ion with the highest intensity within the spectrum of a given metabolite, marked in bold in Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>) to extract metabolite peaks with Masslynx 4.1. software.</p></sec><sec id="Sec10"><title>ABA and derivatives</title><p>The pathway, starting from ABA, has two major branches: the catabolic and the conjugating branch. The first one starts with the conversion of ABA into 8′-hydroxy ABA (catalyzed by ABA 8′-hydroxylase), which spontaneously isomerizes to PA. This metabolite is further catabolized to DPA by a soluble reductase [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. The conjugating branch involves the temporary storage of ABA into a glycosylated form catalyzed by an UDP-ABA glycosyl transferase (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>). The most widespread form is ABAGE which is the result of esterification at the C1 position of the carboxyl group [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>]. In turn, active ABA can be released from ABAGE by a glycosidase (BGLU18, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>]).</p><p>ABA levels in fruits of the ‘Sucrenya’ orange were the highest. Whereas, high contents of this hormone were also found in ‘Hernandina’, ‘Midknight’, ‘Washington’, and ‘Lane late’; and ‘Fortune’, ABA levels were much lower in lemons, grapefruits and Pixie and Nadorcott mandarin cultivars. In general, varieties showing low ABA content had also low concentrations of ABA catabolites, including ABAGE (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>). Conversely, ‘Sucrenya’ that showed the highest ABA levels had also the highest PA and ABAGE levels among all varieties. These results suggested a different ABA metabolic fingerprinting for each variety. ABA levels seem to be regulated by degradation to DPA followed by conjugation in ‘Hernandina’. On the other hand, ABA metabolism in ‘Nadorcott’ and ‘Pixie’ as well as in ‘Lane late’ and ‘Washington’ oranges appeared to be channeled to the production of glycosylated forms of PA and DPA, respectively, showing scarce accumulation of their free forms. Surprisingly, the other blonde-type variety, ‘Midknight’, did not accumulate any catabolite or ABA derivative, suggesting that the control of ABA levels took place by regulating its biosynthesis (NCED activity). On the contrary, in Fortune ABA levels appeared to be regulated in by diverting metabolic flow to PA and PAGE synthesis. The rest of cultivars accumulating low ABA contents such as lemons a general downregulation of the pathway was found whereas in grapefruits metabolite flow was directed to DPAGE synthesis (with a particular behavior of Marsh genotype that accumulated significant amounts of PA and ABAGE). Noteworthy, only ‘Sucrenya’ orange and ‘Marsh’ grapefruit showed significantly higher ABAGE levels than the rest of varieties. Overall, this indicates that citrus fruits and especially juice sacs preferentially induce the degradation pathway to reduce ABA levels (being conjugation of ABA a less relevant mechanism). In previous reports, higher ABA levels were found in juice sacs of satsuma mandarin (<italic>Citrus unshiu</italic>) compared to ‘Lisbon’ lemon or ‘Valencia’ orange [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. This could be explained in part by a higher ability of satsuma mandarin for carotenoid and xanthophyll biosynthesis in juice sacs together with a higher metabolite flow towards xanthoxin and ABA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. On the contrary, although carotenoid availability in mandarins is higher than in oranges [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>], it is likely that availability of xanthophyll substrates needed for NCED activity is much lower probably channeling these precursors to other metabolic pathways, thus contributing to lower ABA levels in this group (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>). Nevertheless, in ‘Nadorcott’ and ‘Pixie’ cultivars, increased degradation to PA along with its conjugation to hexoses rendering PAGE could also contribute to decreased ABA levels. In contrast, the lemon and grapefruit varieties showed lower levels of ABA and catabolites and observation coincident with the reported low carotenoid levels in juice sacs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec11"><title>Limonoids</title><p>Limonoids are highly oxygenated triterpenes present in Rutaceae and Meliaceae. These compounds are derived from squalene, although the first true limonoid precursor is nomilin that can be directly glucosylated by a limonoid UDP-glucosyl transferase or also deacetylated (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>) rendering obacunone. Cleavage of C-O bond at the D-ring and reorganization of the D-ring renders the tasteless limonoate A-ring lactone that can be alternatively glycosylated (as occurs during normal maturation) or converted into bitter limonin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. All identified limonoids were present in all varieties at different levels but especially in lemons showed very low values (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>). Particularly, limonin glycosyl ester was present at similar levels in all orange and mandarin varieties but showed slightly lower levels in the two grapefruit varieties. These two genotypes, together with orange cultivars, also contained high concentrations of the bitter limonin whereas mandarins showed very low values. In addition, ‘Sucrenya’ was the only variety that had significant amounts of limonoate A-ring lactone and obacunone, suggesting a highly active biosynthesis in this variety. Nomilin could not be detected in this study but its glycosylated and deacetylated derivatives (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). Nomilin glucoside levels were much higher in ‘Sucrenya’ and ‘Pixie’ cultivars than in the rest of citrus varieties that showed very low levels. Levels of Deacetylated nomilin glucoside in the navel-type oranges (‘Washington’ and ‘Lane late’) were the highest whereas they were slightly lower in ‘Midknight’ and in trace amounts in ‘Pixie’. Obacunone glucoside levels were high in this variety and lower levels, by decreasing order, were detected in ‘Sucrenya’, ‘Hernandina’ and the rest of oranges. This indicated that all limonoid pool was diverted into production of glycosides, as expected in normal maturation, but some varieties also presented significant amounts of bitter limonin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>], including lemons, ‘Sucrenya’, ‘Midknight’ and navel-type oranges. Nomilin glucoside, obacunone, obacunone glucoside, limonoate A-ring lactone and its glucoside and limonin are over-accumulated in ‘Sucrenya’ compared to the other blonde-type variety ‘Midknight’. This suggests a particularly active limonoid biosythetic pathway in ‘Sucrenya’ whereas in ‘Midknight’ all intermediates are readily channeled to the production of deacetyl nomilic acid glucoside, limonin and limonin glucoside. Indeed, limonin glucoside was highly abundant in almost all studied citrus juices (0.035% of juice weight in mexican lime, as described in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]) that could also be cleaved to render free limonin upon induction of a glucosidase [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>]. The concentration of limonoid metabolites highly increased in citrus affected by bacterial Greening Disease or Huanglongbing (HLB) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>] suggesting a role in defense against bacterial infection. Moreover, limonoids have exhibited significant antioxidant and antitumorigenic activity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>]. However, their specific physiological role in citrus is still unknown. The results presented here also point out differences in palatable fruit quality among varieties at optimum commercial maturation stage, likely associated to genetic differences.</p></sec><sec id="Sec12"><title>Flavonoids</title><p>This class of compounds has been involved in the antioxidant and beneficial health properties of citrus. Indeed, the high radical scavenging activity of citrus juices has been almost exclusively associated to flavonoids and other phenolic constituents [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. In citrus, the most abundant flavonoids are flavanones, flavones and flavonols being the methoxylation and glycosylation the main reactions rendering derivatives [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. In this study, from the same flavanone core several derivatives were identified by substitution with methyl groups or hexose moieties: naringin, hesperidin, narirutin, neohesperidin, and eriodictyol (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref> and Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). From this group, the most widespread compounds were hesperidin, narirutin and eriodictyol 7-O-neohesperidoside, whereas naringin and neohesperidin were exclusively present in grapefruits. Flavonoid synthesis starts from the flavanone naringenin by successive transfer of glycosyl groups (a first step by which glucose is transferred to oxygen in position 7 generating a 7-O-glucoside). In turn, a 1,6 rhamnosyl transferase renders the hesperidosides (or rutinosides) hesperidin and narirutin. Conversely, action of 1,2 rhamnosyl transferase on flavanone 7-O-hexosides generates neohesperidosides: neohesperidin and naringin. A very low expression of 1,6 rhamnosyl transferases in citron, pummelo and grapefruit and absence of 1,2 rhamnosyl transferases in mandarins and oranges have been recently reported [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. These results would explain the exclusive occurrence of neohesperidosides in grapefruit cultivars in the present work (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). Apparently, this low expression is enough to grant occurrence of rutinosides such as narirutin and eriodictyol 7-O rutinoside in grapefruits. Another group of flavonoids, flavonols, synthesized from the same flavanones by hydroxylation include isorhamnetin, kaempferol and quercetin. Rutin showed the highest accumulation in lemons, although it was present in most citrus cultivars included in this study, showing significantly lower levels in ‘Fortune’ and ‘Hernandina’. This could point out a higher flavonoid 3-monooxygenase activity in these genotypes. Isorhamnetin 3-O rutinoside derived from addition of an hexose moiety on oxygen in position 3 catalyzed by 3-glycosyl transferase followed by 1,6 rhamnosyl transferase [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. It is now clear that 1,6 rhamnosyl transferase is present and active to different levels in most cultivated citrus species. Therefore, the selectivity relies on the previous action of 7- or 3-glycosyl transferases. To this respect, the results obtained suggest that 3-glycosyl transferases are likely to be rather active in grapefruit cultivars, therefore rendering flavonol 7-O rutinosides. Isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside, product of methoxylation and subsequent glycosylation of a flavonol moiety was found to be highly abundant in both navel oranges and ‘Midknight’ and in the two lemon cultivars which could point out at flavonol A-ring methoxylation being highly active in these genotypes. On the other hand, polymethoxylated flavones, derived from flavanone in a reaction catalyzed in turn by flavone synthase and flavone A-ring methyl transferases were completely absent in lemon and grapefruit cultivars, suggesting a lower enzyme activity or expression.</p></sec><sec id="Sec13"><title>Miscellaneous compounds</title><p>Precursor compounds such as phenylalanine, ferulic acid hexoside and tryptophan were grouped under this epigraph (Figure <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>). Phenylalanine, along with Tyr, is the precursor of all aromatic compounds (among which flavonoids and phenolic acids are found) through reaction catalyzed by PAL and CHS. Results indicated that this precursor compounds are not limiting for all derived compounds and therefore differences in flavonoid composition are due to variations in the expression of genes encoding for metabolic enzymes acting downstream CHS. To this respect, ferulic acid hexoside was scarce in juices of ‘Sucrenya’ but, conversely, this variety did not show any limitation in flavonoid biosynthesis (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>), suggesting that biosynthetic restrains did not affect steps upstream ferulic acid. In the rest of genotypes, this metabolite was moderately abundant with the exception of ‘Fortune’ and ‘Midknight’ which juices had significantly higher levels of this compound. Content of tryptophan, an aminoacid precursor of indolic compounds and the auxin indole-3-acetic acid, was found to be extremely scarce in the vast majority of citrus varieties assayed with the exception of the two grapefruit cultivars studied, with values four-fold higher than the average levels.<fig id="Fig6"><label>Figure 6</label><caption><p><bold>Relative levels of miscellaneous metabolites identified in citrus juices: tryptophan (a), phenylalanine (b) and a ferulic acid hexoside (c).</bold> Sample ID is given in x-axis.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="12870_2015_430_Fig6_HTML" id="MO6"></graphic></fig></p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec14" sec-type="conclusion"><title>Conclusions</title><p>Organoleptic quality is associated not only to primary attributes such as soluble solids (sugars) and acids (mainly citric acid) but other minor compounds such as triterpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins and anthocyanidins. Recently, these compounds have gained scientific and commercial attention due to their beneficial effects on human health and also as important phylogenetic markers. It is well known that metabolites are the downstream products of gene expression and, as such, subjected to a thorough selection process. Therefore, secondary metabolites can be used either as quality traits or as markers for the selection and/or certification of different fruit sources [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>] or for the physiological evaluation of plant genotypes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. To this regard, in this work we have focused only in commercial subspecies arising from reciprocal crosses between different citrus ancestor lines: <italic>Citrus maxima</italic> (pummelo), <italic>Citrus reticulata</italic> (mandarin), <italic>Citrus medica</italic> (citron) and <italic>Citrus aurantifolia</italic> (mexican lime). To further investigate the inheritance of specific metabolite traits, an exhaustive analysis including these ancestor species should be performed. Nevertheless, the results presented in this manuscript indicate that LC/ESI-QTOF-MS non-targeted metabolite profiling is an efficient technique to profile secondary metabolites in citrus juices with little sample processing (squeezing, centrifuging and filtering). In addition, this technique could be coupled to multivariate analysis as data mining technique to allow separation of different fruit sources: lemons, grapefruits, mandarins, navel and blonde oranges and, more importantly, the differentiation of varieties within a particular group.</p></sec></body><back><app-group><app id="App1"><sec id="Sec15"><title>Additional files</title><p><media position="anchor" xlink:href="12870_2015_430_MOESM1_ESM.pdf" id="MOESM1"><label>Additional file 1: Figure S1.</label><caption><p>Phylogenetic tree depicting relationships between all known parental ancestor lines and commercial genotypes.</p></caption></media><media position="anchor" xlink:href="12870_2015_430_MOESM2_ESM.pdf" id="MOESM2"><label>Additional file 2: Figure S2.</label><caption><p>2D scores (left) and loadings (right) plots depicting different projections: a) component 1 vs. component 2, b) component 2 vs. component 3, c) component 5 vs. component 6, d) component 7 vs. component 8, e) component 9 vs. component 10 and f) component 1 vs. component 11.
