Metabolome analysis by 1-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) coupled with multivariate data analysis was carried out in Brassica rapa plants transformed with a gene encoding bacterial isochorismate synthase (ICS). Partial least square-discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) on selected signals suggested that the resonances that were dominant in the transgenic plants corresponded to a glucosinolate (neoglucobrassicin), phenylpropanoids (sinapoyl malate, feruloyl malate, caffeoyl malate), organic acids (succinic acid and fumaric acid) and sugars (?- and ?-glucose). In contrast, amino acids alanine threonine, valine, leucine were dominant in the untransformed controls. In addition, HPLC data showed that the transgenic plant accumulated salicylic acid (SA) at significantly higher levels than the control plants, whereas the phylloquinone levels were not affected. The results suggest that the expression of the bacterial isochorismate synthase gene in B. rapa does not affect fluxes into pathways to other groups of secondary metabolites through competition for the same precursor. On the contrary, the biosynthesis of isochorismate-derived products (SA) seems to induce the competitive pathways via phenylalanine (phenylpropanoids) and tryptophan (IAA and indole glucosinolates).
