Metabolite Profiling in Arabidopsis and Crop Plants


Research ProjectsStaff membersPublications
Head: Dierk Scheel

During development and in response to variable environmental conditions, plants exhibit altered metabolite patterns. Among these low molecular weight compounds, the number and diversity of secondary metabolites is particularly high. These are known to play crucial roles in plant development, adaptation and defense. For sensitive detection, quantification and identification of the diverse spectrum of metabolites liquid and gas chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry is employed in mostly non-targeted manner. In cooperation with the Bioinformatics and Mass Spectrometry group, versatile tools for data analysis and storage have been developed and made publicly available.
