Metabolomics and Systems Biology

Plant and Environmental Metabolomics

Plant metabolomics is a recent research field that has gained increasing interest in the past few years and is applied for sub atomic level of the total metabolite and metabolome of plants under particular conditions. Metabolomics is applied for a better understanding the relation between genes and the biochemical composition of a plant tissue in response to its environment conditions and this information can be further used to assess gene function. The environmental metabolomics is use of metabolomics strategies to investigate the connections of life forms with their surroundings.
