Abstract

This chapter gives a short summary of metabolomics applications in plant research. It has been estimated that several hundreds of, thousand different metabolic components may be produced within the plant kingdom, and they vary in their abundances by 6 orders of magnitude. Any valid metabolomics approach must be able to unbiasedly extract, separate, detect, and accurately quantify this enormous diversity of chemical compounds. These requirements dictate the challenges that are continually addressed in the fi eld of plant metabolomics, which will be discussed in the following chapter.
