Plant Metabolomics

Organisms are capable of responding to a wide range of intracellular, intercellular, and extracellular stimuli, where genes and proteins are mainly involved in information storage and in achieving functional cellular processes, while metabolites are the actual performers of the dynamic cellular environment. In plants, there is a large variety of metabolites and the metabolome refers to the collection of all major and minor metabolites and can be considered as the ultimate recipient of genetic information, where the level of a single metabolite can influence gene expression, protein stability, and metabolic fluxes. Plant metabolism is particularly important for plant growth and development because plant metabolites play an important role in plant growth, cell replenishment, and plant response to changing environments, etc. In addition, exploring the diversity of metabolism can also provide new ideas for plant evolutionary studies.
