Plants are the complex organisms, it forms an important part of our everyday diet and their constituents and nutritional value have been intensively studied for decades. In addition to essential primary metabolites like carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids, higher plants are also able to synthesize a number of low molecular weight compounds called the secondary metabolites. Plant secondary met...

the study of world health organization (who) has shown that the use of herbal medicines has been increased dramatically around the world in recent years. with the expanding popularity and trade of medicinal plants, health, safety and quality of medicinal plant raw materials and processed products have become a major concern for world organizations. environmental pollutants, including heavy meta...

Abstract Plant metabolome as the downstream product in biological information of flow starting from genomics is highly complex, and dynamically produces a wide range primary secondary metabolites, including ionic inorganic compounds, hydrophilic carbohydrates, amino acids, organic compounds associated with hydrophobic lipids. The complex metabolites present samples bring challenges to analytica...

Chemical transformations that occur in the cells of living creatures are classified as metabolism, and these required for organism's survival. Metabolites end products metabolic processes well intermediates generated during processes. There two types metabolites produce by plants, one is primary other secondary metabolites. A metabolite has a direct role proper growth, development, reproduction...

The rapid increase in soil salinization has impacted agricultural output and poses a threat to food security. There is an urgent need focus on improving fertility yield, both of which are severely influenced by abiotic variables such as salinity sodicity. Abiotic forces have rendered one-third the overall land unproductive. Microbes primary answer majority production’s above- below-ground probl...

It is widely recognized that plant cells are potentially rich sources of commercially important secondary metabolites. The production of secondary metabolites in plants would be mainly controlled by transcriptional activities of a series of genes which encode the specific enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of desired products. It is likely, however, that the catalytic activities of these enzym...

Fusarium head blight (FHB), primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a devastating disease of wheat. Partial resistance to FHB of several wheat cultivars includes specific metabolic responses to inoculation. Previously published studies have determined major metabolic changes induced by pathogens in resistant and susceptible plants. Functionality of the majority of these metabolites in resi...

A large number of metabolites are found in each plant, most of which have not yet been identified. Development of a methodology is required to deal systematically with unknown metabolites, and to elucidate their biological roles in an integrated 'omics' framework. Here we report the development of a 'metabolite annotation' procedure. The metabolite annotation is a process by which structures an...

Imaging Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry provides a new and powerful tool to analyse the distribution of metabolites within plant tissues. The two matrices alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (alpha-CHCA) and 9-aminoacridine provide a useful combination that allows the measurement of amino acids, sugars, and phosphorylated metabolites. Results are presented showing t...
