Towards the plant metabolome and beyond

Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2007 Feb;8(2):167-74. doi: 10.1038/nrm2098. Epub 2007 Jan 10.

Abstract

Methods for network-wide analysis are increasingly showing that the textbook view of the regulation of plant metabolism is often incomplete and misleading. Recent innovations in small-molecule analysis have created the ability to rapidly identify and quantify numerous compounds, and these data are creating new opportunities for understanding plant metabolism and for plant metabolic engineering.
