Plants produce a myriad of structurally and functionally diverse metabolites that play many
different roles in plant growth and development and in plant response to continually …

Plants produce a huge array of metabolites, far more than those produced by most other
organisms. Unraveling this diversity and its underlying genetic variation has attracted …

Plants defend themselves from most microbial attacks via mechanisms including cell wall
fortification, production of antimicrobial compounds, and generation of reactive oxygen …

Key message Comprehensive metabolomic investigations provide a large set of stress-
related metabolites and metabolic pathways, advancing crops under heat stress conditions …

The term metabolome was coined in 1998, by analogy to genome, transcriptome and
proteome. The first research papers using the terms metabolomics, metabonomics …

Host genetics has recently been shown to be a driver of plant microbiome composition.
However, identifying the underlying genetic loci controlling microbial selection remains …

Background Drought is a major environmental disaster that causes crop yield loss
worldwide. Metabolites are involved in various environmental stress responses of plants …

GWAS involves testing genetic variants across the genomes of many individuals of a
population to identify genotype–phenotype association. It was initially developed and has …

Glycosylation by uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in plants
contributes to the complexity and diversity of secondary metabolites. UGTs are generally …

Metabolomics has made significant progress in multiple fronts in the last 18 months. This
minireview aimed to give an overview of these advancements in the light of their contribution …
