Regulation of Plant Primary Metabolism – How Results From Novel Technologies Are Extending Our Understanding From Classical Targeted Approaches

The post-genomic era is characterized by a range of high throughput profiling methods capable broadly characterizing gene expression levels, protein, and metabolite abundances. Application these methods, enzyme profiling, more recently, protein-metabolite interactions flux analysis have alongside modeling approaches allowed us to refine our understanding the regulation metabolism even in case canonical pathways primary plant metabolism. Here we review recent insights obtained using such context previous knowledge. In doing so, hope highlight effectiveness postulate that their application less well-studied metabolic will likely allow elucidation hitherto unknown mechanism regulation.
