Metabolite Profiling in Arabidopsis and Crop Plants
| Research Projects |  | Staff members |  | Publications |  |
Our project is aiming at contributing to the "post-genomic" analysis of the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana by establishing an extensive profiling of proteins, peptides, and metabolites. These profiles are to be used for the detection and identification of early stress responses and novel signaling molecules. Eventually, they will provide valuable tools for the analysis of various developmental and stress-induced changes as well as for the biochemical phenotyping of mutants and the exploration of natural diversity. Exemplary biotic and abiotic stresses under investigation are pathogen attack and toxic metal exposure, respectively.
