Fruit ripening in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) requires the coordination of both
developmental cues as well as the plant hormone ethylene. Although the role of ethylene in …

Loss in activity and denaturation remain key challenges to the potential use of laccase in
industrial applications. One of the most important aims of enzyme technology is to enhance …

Diatoms outcompete other phytoplankton for nitrate, yet little is known about the
mechanisms underpinning this ability. Genomes and genome-enabled studies have shown …

Abstract Motivation: Typical GC-MS-based metabolite profiling experiments may comprise
hundreds of chromatogram files, which each contain up to 1000 mass spectral tags (MSTs) …

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the coinage of the term metabolome [SG Oliver et
al., Trends Biotech. 16, 373–378 (1998)]. As the field rapidly advances, it is important to take …

For the description of the metabolome of an organism, the development of common
metabolite databases is of utmost importance. Here we present the Metabolome Tomato …

In a short time, plant metabolomics has gone from being just an ambitious concept to being
a rapidly growing, valuable technology applied in the stride to gain a more global picture of …

One element of classical systems analysis treats a system as a black or grey box, the inner
structure and behaviour of which can be analysed and modelled by varying an internal or …

Marine primary productivity is iron (Fe)-limited in vast regions of the contemporary oceans,
most notably the high nutrient low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions. Diatoms often form large …

Metabolomics involves the unbiased quantitative and qualitative analysis of the complete set
of metabolites present in cells, body fluids and tissues (the metabolome). By analyzing …
