Plants have shaped our human life form from the outset. With the emerging recognition of
world population feeding, global climate change and limited energy resources with fossil …

The primary aim of “omic” technologies is the nontargeted identification of all gene products
(transcripts, proteins, and metabolites) present in a specific biological sample. By their …

The relatively new research discipline of Eco-Metabolomics is the application of
metabolomics techniques to ecology with the aim to characterise biochemical interactions of …

Plant metabolomics is a rapidly advancing field of plant sciences and systems biology. It
involves comprehensive analyses of small molecules (metabolites) in plant tissues and …

Plant biology, like all other fields of biology, has undergone a major transition in the last few
years. With increasing access to ever-improving technologies, the reductionist approach is …

The “metabolome” comprises the entire complement of small molecules in a plant or any
other organism. It represents the ultimate phenotype of cells, deduced from the perturbation …

Metabolomics now plays a significant role in fundamental plant biology and applied
biotechnology. Plants collectively produce a huge array of chemicals, far more than are …

Metabolome analysis is now recognized as a crucial component of functional genomic and
systems biology investigations. Innovative approaches to the study of metabolic regulation in …

Metabolomics is perhaps the ultimate level of post‐genomic analysis as it can reveal
changes in metabolite fluxes that are controlled by only minor changes within gene …

Plants dwelling at the base of biological food chain are of fundamental significance in
providing solutions to some of the most daunting ecological and environmental problems …
